Yoonseok/ Sope AU in which Hoseok's friends book him an 'Oppa' to show him the city.
At first Hoseok isn't very amused by this.
But then he meets the cute Yoongi.
Sadly the boy has a no-touch policy.
Has he?
Inspired by this Vlog.
Bless Jina 😩✊🏻
But it's nothing like the vlog so-

『A few information』
❥ something like dating lol
❥ fluff
❥ mutual pinning cause that's the only shit I can write apparently
❥ Hoseok is whipped
❥ Yoongi is very broke
❥ maybe some ding dong action
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) not sure yet tho
❥ fake boyfriends
❥ a lil jealousy😌
001) Wellcome
002)
Seoul was huge.
Bigger than Hoseok remembered it from the last time he was there.
Coming from Gwangju, Hoseok was used to the city life.
But Seoul was on another level.
003)
It took him 15 minutes longer than maps told him, to reach Seokjin’s apartment because he stood in front of the subway plan and tried to figure out which train to take.
He also read the legend several times without being able to connect it with the trails.
004)
A kind lady has helped him out, but almost immediately after she explained him how the whole system worked, everything vanished out of Hoseok’s head.

He was just glad he sat in the right subway to his meetup now.
005)
It was pretty packed, probably because all the teenager wanted to go out during summer break.
Some of them had bags with beach supplies with them. Others just went out for shopping apparently.

Hoseok on the other hand, was about to meet up with Yoongi.
006)
No matter how many times Hosek asked Seokjin for the boys number, he didn’t send him the contact.
Now he was slightly worried that they might not find each other.

Did Yoongi know what he looked like?
Hoseok already worried too much.
007)
But this whole city was stressing him out at the moment.

The subway air was wet and musky, people’s skin sticky from sweat and sunscreen and he was staring at the destination board the whole time because he wasn’t able to hear any announcements.
008)
The speakers may be broken or maybe the announcements weren’t loud enough for Hoseok’s ears.

So when his stop showed up on the destination board, he sighed relieved.

He waited for the train to stop before he stood up and left the wagon.
009)
He quickly followed the crowd and took an extra deep breath, once he stepped up to the fresh air.

When someone squeezed past him a bit too close, Hoseok stepped aside and made some room for the other people who were walking up the stairs.
010)
Maps told him, that he needed to walk 7 more minutes until he reached his destination.

So he didn’t spent much time looking at his surroundings and started walking along the way.

Once he was close, he looked up and searched for the male.
011)
Just then Hoseok realized HE didn't know what Yoongi looked like.
Hoseok spotted a yellow bench. At least it looked kind of yellowish? Hoseok thought it looked more like pee.
Suddenly someone stepped close the bench.
012)
His eyes quickly focused on the boy besides the bench.
Barely anyone else was around.
Hopefully this was Yoongi and not some stranger because Hoseok couldn’t stand embarrassing himself right now.
013)
While he walked towards him, he looked Yoongi up and down.
Even though he wore shorts and a tee, both pieces of clothes were all black.
Hoseok didn’t want to seem too obvious but when he looked into the boys face again, he realized how cute he was and kept staring.
014)
The boy who was looking down to his phone, blinked up to Hoseok once he stopped in front of him.

„Hey.“, was the only thing Hoseok was able to get out.

„Hoseok, right? Nice to meet you.“, the boy said and Hoseok smiled when he realized this must be Yoongi for sure.
015)
They awkwardly smiled at each other and for a moment Hoseok took his time to look at the boy in front of himself.
Yoongi’s cheeks were a bit pink from the summer heat.
His cat like eyes looked a bit cold but when he smiled, Hoseok felt very warm.
016)
„Did you wait long? I’m sorry.“, Hoseok mumbled and looked at his mobile to check the time.

„No. We agreed on 2pm. I was just a bit early.“
Yoongi looked at his wristwatch.

„Okay. I always wonder if Seokjin is going to change the time on purpose. He likes to mess with me.“
017)
Hoseok smiled when he told Yoongi this, but suddenly the male frowned and then tilted his head slightly.

„Seokjin? Is that a friend of yours?“

Hoseok pressed his lips together for a moment.
He blinked at Yoongi before he looked around.
He thought for something to say.
018)
Anything, really, which would make any sense now.

„Yeah. But aren’t you two friends as well? Seokjin told me he asked a friend to show me around.“

Yoongi looked over Hoseok’s face for a moment.

His expression calm and collected.
019)
„So I assume I wasn’t texting you all along.“, Yoongi unlocked his phone and showed him a chat.

There were too many hearts.
Even for Hoseok.
He read over it briefly and then groaned.
020)
„I’m so sorry. I think my friend arranged this behind my back.“, Hoseok mumbled while he kept reading the messages over and over.
„Is hat some kind of dating app?“, Hoseok shrieked and looked at Yoongi.

Yoongi locked his phone again and smiled slightly.
021)
„No it’s not. No worries. Your friend just booked me for today.“
"Booked!?", Hoseok almost yelled and stared at Yoongi.
The smile Yoongi had on his lips made Hoseok unsure.
Suddenly the boy laughed and smiled brightly.
Really just the cutest smile.
022)
Hoseok excused himself for a moment.
023)
When Hoseok walked back to Yoongi who was still standing at the same spot, they exchanged an unsure smile.
“Okay. That’s a bit awkward.”, Hoseok laughed and scratched the back of his head.
“You think so?”, Yoongi asked and caught Hoseok a bit off guard.
024)
Right, Hoseok totally forgot that Yoongi did this regularly.
“Ah. Not like uncomfortable awkward.”, Hoseok quickly said and shook his head.
“I just didn’t expect this.”, a nervous laugh escaped his lips.
“I can imagine.”, Yoongi said and smiled at Hoseok with closed lips.
025)
“Well your friend paid anyways and I don’t do refunds. So why don’t we just hang out? Where is the difference?”
Yoongi was right.
Hoseok would have met with a stranger anyways.
“Uhm. Can I see the side my friend booked you on?”
026)
Yoongi nodded and unlocked his phone so he could hand it to Hoseok.
“That’s my profile.”, he said and then scratches his chin.
He huffed a laugh and looked away a bit nervous.
“It’s kinda weird to have someone look at it in front of me.”
027)
Hoseok laughed before he took a look at Yoongi’s phone.
028)
“So you are something like a tour guide?”, Hoseok finally asked and handed Yoongi his phone back.
“You could say so.”, Yoongi answered and put the phone in the back pocket of his pants.
029)
“I will go with you wherever you want and If you don’t know Seoul at all I can show you the most important places.”
Hoseok hummed and nodded.
It seemed kind of cool.
Yoongi got to know a lot of people like this probably.
030)
“Sounds good! Uhm-...”, Hoseok looked around because at the moment he didn’t really know where he was at all.
“How about we go to Gangnam? There’s a big mall. We can go window shopping if you want to? The complex is pretty impressive.”, Yoongi suggested +
031)
and Hoseok then noticed that Yoongi was speaking pretty lowly. It kind of fit his relaxed posture. Yoongi felt comfortable. So maybe Hoseok should calm down as well.
032)
“Great! Let’s go there. We have two and a half hours, right?”, Hoseok followed Yoongi when he started to walk towards the direction Hoseok came from before.
Yoongi smiled a bit to himself.
033)
“It’s okay. Let’s count the hours when we arrived. We will ride the train for almost 40 minutes anyways. Withdrawing the time from your total would be just rude.”
“Are you for real? Thank you.”, Hoseok said and realized again that compared to Yoongi, he almost yelled.
034)
“That’s very nice.”, he added a bit calmer.
“Don’t mention it.”, Yoongi said and waved him off.
“Uhm. Do I need to know about any rules?”, Hoseok asked. At least this was a service.
Every service had rules, right?
035)
“Well, I think the only strict rule is that alcohol is prohibited.”, Yoongi said and nibbled his bottom lip.
“Besides that everyone has their own limits.”
“What are yours?”, Hoseok asked.
He was quite curious about Yoongi’s job.
036)
It seemed like fun but he also wondered if Yoongi had to struggle with stuff. Some people must be nerve wrecking.
“Some customers thought this was something like a date. So-...”, Yoongi eyes Hoseok for a moment before he spoke again. “It’s not. We won’t go anywhere private.”
037)
Hoseok's cheeks heated up.
He didn’t think about this for a second.
He just hoped the redness in his face wouldn’t be too obvious.
“I figured.”, Hoseok mumbled and looked away.

“And I don’t like to touch. That’s the limit for me. I will leave immediately if that happens.”
038)
Hoseok stepped away from Yoongi a bit but the blonde only laughed.
“It’s okay when it happens by accident. I don’t mind. Just some people grabbed me before or came too close. I don’t want that."
Yoongi’s voice was stronger now.
039)
Hoseok nodded quickly and looked at Yoongi again.
“No worries. I promise not to do it on purpose.”
Sadly Hoseok was a pretty physical person.
He liked to drag people along or be close to them when he liked them- and he had the feeling Yoongi would become someone he liked.
040)
This was going to be hard for him.
But Hoseok could do it.
He was sure.
041)
“So, Hoseok. What are you doing in Seoul?”, Yoongi asked when they stepped on the subway and took a seat parallel to the windows.
They were lucky.
The subway was fuller now. Probably because some people went home from work around this time.
042)
“Well I just graduated from High School and I’m spending my summer holidays here. I’m staying at my friends place and he promised to spend some times with me.", Hoseok smiled when he thought of Seokjin.
043)
"But he also needs to work so I understand. I still can be by myself as well. Plus I just want to get away from my family for a couple weeks.”

“Congratulations on your graduation!”, Yoongi said and smiled at Hoseok.
044)
“Well done. You are from Gwangju, right? Do you want to study there or do you plan to come to Seoul?”
Hoseok laughed a bit at this question.
“Thank you. I think I’d get lost in Seoul tho. Besides I’d miss my friends in Gwangju.”
045)
“Oh. You’ll get to know many new people in university. It’s inevitable.”
“I wouldn’t be so sure about that.”, Hoseok said and looked straight out of the window.

“You never know until you try. I guess you have no clue what to do as well?"

“Not really.“, he admitted.
046)
He didn’t even prepare for anything after school. While all of his friends were studying for their entrance exams, Hoseok had no power left for this. He wanted to try next year. Take a year of and discover South Korea a bit. He could do some work and travel.
047)
Meet new people and make some life experience. Still. Hoseok felt odd that he was apparently the only one who wasn’t really moving forward.
“It’s alright not to know.”, Yoongi said and huffed.
048)
“We all struggle. I have a friend who wanted to become a teacher and three semesters in, he decided it wasn’t his path. Now he’s selling flowers and really, he’s the happiest. Don’t stress yourself. Take one year off and enjoy your time. Starting with your stay in Seoul.”
049)
Yoongi’s words were so encouraging, Hoseok huffed a happy smile.
“Thanks. Feels good to hear this.”, he mumbled and leaned a bit forward. The backrest felt weird through his shirt.
“You are studying architecture?”, Hoseok asked and suddenly Yoongi’s eyes lit up.
050)
Maybe they even sparkled a little.

“Yes. It’s my third semester and I love it. It’s everything I ever wanted so I’m grateful. The entrance exam was horrible tho.”

“Where are you studying?”

“University of Seoul.”

Hoseok almost choked on his own spit.
051)
“You must be really clever then!”, he said and sat up again.
Yoongi just chuckled and shook his head.
“Not really. I had a home teacher at that time. I just studied every day and barely passed. Usually I’m quite lazy. It was quite a challenge.”
052)
Hoseok hummed and thought about the university. People only talked highly of it. Only the best students were able to go to this university. Yoongi was only humble for sure.
Hoseok then asked what Yoongi usually did in his studies and luckily Yoongi was willingly telling him.
053)
They talked non stop until Yoongi stood up.
“Are we there already?”, Hoseok asked and was about to stand up too.
“No. You can stay.”, Yoongi said and turned to an older woman who just entered the train.
Hoseok didn’t even notice her.
054)
She took Yoongi’s seat thankfully and when Hoseok looked back up to Yoongi, he already grabbed the loop above his head and tried to get a steady stance in front of Hoseok.
“It’s only about six more stops.”, Yoongi said and wobbled slightly when the train started again.
055)
Now Hoseok felt kind of bad he wasn’t the one standing up.
Hoseok nibbled his bottom lip for a time, before he stood up as well.
Yoongi seemed a bit surprised and perplexed.
“It’s weird when you stand and I sit.”, Hoseok said, while they stood too close now.
056)
Hoseok looked up and grabbed the first loop he could find.
He then took a couple steps away from Yoongi.
Yoongi huffed a laugh.
“Okay. Whatever makes you comfortable.”
Yoongi then looked at the destination board and Hoseok looked at Yoongi again.
057)
He seemed like a seriously nice guy. He couldn’t wait to visit this shopping centre with him.
And he wondered what Yoongi was interested in.
Six Stops passed fast and suddenly both of them needed to leave the train.
058)
It were just a couple more minutes until they reached the chopping centre Yoongi was talking about earlier.
At first Hoseok wasn’t too amazed. Of course there were big LED screens outside, but there were a lot in general.
But Hoseok didn’t expect what was inside the mall.
059)
“Is that a library?”, Hoseok asked a bit too loud.
This was amazing.
A bunch of people settled on the tables which didn’t really provide much room for studying.
Some had their laptops with them. Some only read a book or looked at their phones.
060)
Hoseok was amazed by the size of the bookshelves.
“The mall was built in 1979. Nobody thought this place would look like this now.”
Yoongi kept walking and Hoseok just walked after him. He looked up to the transparent ceiling and the high shelves with books and magazines.
061)
Hoseok liked the whole atmosphere.
There were many people but Hoseok didn’t feel uncomfortable.
People tried to be quiet.
“Do you come here often?”, Hoseok asked once he catched up to Yoongi.
062)
“Not really this place. We go all the way to the back to the arcade centre sometimes or the movie theatre.”
“Wow. That’s awesome.”, Hoseok mumbled and looked around a bit more.
He could imagine spending his afternoon here, reading magazines and drinking tea.
063)
“Do you want to sit down? Or should we keep going?”, Yoongi asked. He pointed over to a table where others were packing their things up.
“Can you show me around a bit more?”, Hoseok asked instead and Yoongi agreed.
And really, Yoongi was able to show him a lot of stores.
064)
And maybe Hoseok bought a couple pins and keychains he didn’t really need.
But the cute flowers with the happy smile was too cute. Hoseok couldn’t ignore it.
He even bought two, one for Seokjin and one for him.
Yoongi lead him through the whole building.
065)
To the point where both their legs got tired.
Yoongi promised to make a break once they arrived at the place he planned to visit originally.
So when they passed the movie theatre and the arcade centre, they stepped outside again.
066)
The sun was still high up and Hoseok gasped when he saw the temple in front of him.
Tge sun was also blinding him slightly which was why he needed to blink several times until he was able to take everything is.
067)
"That’s the Bongeunsa temple. It was built 794 and even when it was destroyed during the Korean War and a huge fire, they are trying to renovate most of it. It’s famous for it huge Buddha statue.”
068)
While Yoongi him more details about the building and the historical details, Hoseok was happy to breath fresh air again. He looked at the beautiful building in front of him.
Compared to the Buddha statue, the temple looked tiny.
069)
Once he noticed Yoongi was looking at him and stopped talking, he woke from his trance.
“This is beautiful.”, Hoseok said and Yoongi showed him a kind smile.
A soft curve of his lips and his eyes smiled as well.
070)
“Thank you for showing me this. It’s a nice break after the crowded mall.”, Hoseok said.
“Do you want to sit down for a moment? We can’t order food here so I suggest we go to the Han River later, If you want to. It’s great weather and I bet many people will be there. "
071)
Hoseok agreed to this idea.
He’d love to eat something.
His tummy was starting to feel empty.
Both of them sat down on the stairs and Yoongi kept talking about all the monks, kings and queens which were connected to the temple and Hoseok listened.
072)
He understood little to nothing.
Barely anything really. But he liked how Yoongi’s warm and soothing voice described little details like the construction of the temple.
His cheeks blew up when he smiled and Hoseok was a bit mesmerized by the view.
073)
“Seoul is very modern but they also treasure old buildings and tradition. I think everyone can be happy in Seoul.”
Hoseok thought it was cute. Yoongi’s love for this city. Within minutes, Hoseok’s energy seemed to be back.
074)
He was bouncing his leg a bit when he was ready to go.
But he noticed Yoongi still seemed exhausted.
His posture was sagging.
Besides that, he was sweating slightly.
His skin shiny and slightly red.
It was really hot outside.
075)
Even inside the mall, some parts weren’t air-conditioned.
“I’m sorry. I don’t have much stamina.”, Yoongi mumbled and touched his cheeks with his fingers. Hoseok giggled. “It’s cute.”, Hoseok knew it slipped out so he tried to cover it up.
“Don’t worry. We have time."
076)
He said it like this but suddenly Hoseok realized he didn’t know for sure.
He didn’t know if they still had time.
Apparently he totally forgot that their time was limited.
Hoseok pulled out his phone and looked at the clock.
077)
4:27pm.
Hoseok didn’t remember when they arrived at the mall.
“Uhm.”, Hoseok thought about it. He saw about the time intensely.
“Don’t worry. We have enough time.”, Yoongi said. “Let’s go though. We need to ride the train back again and I can rest then.”
Hoseok agreed.
078)
At first he wanted to help Yoongi up, but then he remembered Yoongi didn’t want to be touched. 

Hoseok stepped around awkwardly when Yoongi stretched and then both walked all the way back to the subway station.
079)
At first he wanted to help Yoongi up, but then he remembered Yoongi didn’t want to be touched.
Hoseok stepped around awkwardly when Yoongi stretched and then both walked all the way back to the subway station.
080)
They talked about food because they walked past a gimbap store and Yoongi told him he didn’t like it that much.
Hoseok loved getting gimbap with his friends. Sometimes when they hung out at 7-Eleven.
081)
Sometimes they bought it in the store with beer and then later sat together in the park.
It was just perfect.
Yoongi liked fried chicken or galbi best.
On their way to the Han River, Hoseok already googled a way to order any of this.
082)
He didn’t mind eating something Yoongi liked.
“What are you looking at?”, Yoongi asked after a while.
Hoseok was leaning against the window and Yoongi clung to a rod nearby.
Hoseok noticed that Yoongi was trying to steal peeks at his phone.
083)
The elder obviously didn’t want to but his curiosity won. 

“I was searching for a place where we can order fried chicken or galbi.”, Hoseok said casually and kept scrolling. 

For a moment Yoongi didn’t say anything but then smiled and catched Hoseok’s attention.
084)
“Don’t worry. I know a place we can
call once we arrive. It’s the best chicken.”
Hoseok locked his phone and packed it away.
“If you say so.”, Hoseok said and just then they stopped at the station they needed to exit.
Hoseok squeezed through first and Yoongi followed him.
085)
“You got more comfortable.”, Yoongi mentioned and Hoseok looked back at him.
“You are confident.”, Yoongi added and walked besides Hoseok now.
Hoseok was kind of proud of Yoongi’s words.
Both of them walked up the stairs and Hoseok was already able to see the Han River.
086)
He was so excited to go there.
So maybe he walked a bit too quickly towards the park.
Yoongi walked after him and only when Hoseok wasn’t sure where to go, Yoongi led him over a pretty grassed area.
087)
“Do you mind sitting in the grass?”, Yoongi asked and Hoseok wasn’t bothered at all so he settled first on the ground.
The grass felt fresh under his touch.
Yoongi quickly called the delivery service and in the meanwhile, Hoseok looked around.
There were many people around.
088)
Groups of friends, couples and families.
Hoseok felt happy between all these happy people.
“Do you come here often?”, Hoseok asked and Yoongi got comfortable besides him.
“Sometimes.”, Yoongi ripped some grass off and played with it.
089)
“It’s crowded sometimes and people here get drunk. It’s annoying. But the view is nice and it’s especially refreshing in summer.”

“What is your favorite thing to do?”, Hoseok asked then. He told Yoongi a lot about himself. But now he wanted to get to know Yoongi as well.
090)
“Actually I just go out with friends. I tag along most of the time.”, Yoongi answered vague as if he didn’t want to talk about it.
“And what do you do on your own?”, Hoseok kept asking.
“I like to watch movies.”, Yoongi mumbled. He sounded a bit embarrassed.
091)
“At home or in the cinema?”
Yoongi hummed.
“The people in the cinema annoy me sometimes. I don’t like when they comment on the movies. So I watch them alone at home.”
Hoseok chuckled.
“I’m one of these people, I guess.”
Yoongi laughed.
092)
“Sorry. I’m sorry. I don’t want to be mean.”
Hoseok shook his head.
“No need to be sorry.”, Hoseok giggled and shrugged.
“I understand it though.”
They kept talking to each other about their favorite movies until the chicken delivery reached them together with two beer cans.
093)
Yoongi ordered quite a lot. He told Hoseok he was paying and for a moment he felt bad.
But Yoongi seemed to enjoy inviting him.
So Hoseok kept his mouth shut and only thanked him.
Once they finished eating, Yoongi looked at his wristwatch.
094)
Somehow Hoseok knew their time was over even before Yoongi voiced it. 

“I need to leave soon.”, Yoongi said and started to pack up the trash.

Hoseok was full and felt happy. He could talk to Yoongi forever.
095)
“Uhm. I enjoyed today. Actually, I was wondering if we could meet up again eventually.”, Hoseok asked once Yoongi stood up. 

Yoongi looked at him with a sad smile on his face. 

“I’m sorry. I guess you’d need to rent me again.”, Yoongi said with a tiny voice.
096)
Hoseok’s lips formed a tiny O before he nodded.
“I understand.”

At first Hoseok thought Yoongi enjoyed this day as well. But he really forgot that Yoongi was only doing his job. Making Hoseok feel welcome and comfortable.
097)
“You should go hiking on Cheongyesan. It’s a nice mountain many people climb. Maybe your friend will go. It’s worth it. The view is beautiful.”, Yoongi mentioned and huffed a tiny smile.
098)
“Today was great. Thank you! I’m glad I was able to spend time with you.”, Yoongi sounded sincere which painted a smile at Hoseok’s lips.
“I feel the same way. Thank you for the tour and for your advice.”, he said and Yoongi nodded softly.
099)
“Have a nice afternoon.”, Yoongi said and waved at Hoseok cutely.
Hoseok waved back, a silly move considering how close they were.
Yoongi then slowly walked off.
He didn’t look back once.
But Hoseok looked after him.
100)
Hoseok took a sio from hin can beer.
Maybe by the end of the day, Hoseok had a not so little crush on Yoongi.
101)
“Why am I even cooking then?”, Seokjin asked when Hoseok told him about the fried chicken.
He didn’t stop cutting up the pepper in front of him tho.
“Because you love me and my tummy is almost empty again?”, Hoseok suggested but both of them just scoffed.
102)
“But it sounds like a nice day. He was really kind, right?”, Seokjin asked and put the pepper aside and grabbed a piece of carrot he could chop up as well.
He was preparing Japchae and Hoseok was hanging lowly in his seat.
103)
Even tho he only spent roughly three hours with Yoongi, he was pretty exhausted.
Maybe all the traffic and the crowds in subways made him tired.
“He was, yeah. But it’s his job, right?”
Seokjin groaned and shook his head.
104)
“Can’t people be kind to you just because they want to?”
Hoseok huffed and unlocked his phone.
Seokjin gave him the login information so Hoseok could delete his profile.
He currently logged in and was scrolling through the booking page.
105)
Eventually he found Yoongi’s page again and was looking through his offers.
Apparently Seokjin had spent quite a lot of money.
106)
The whole side looked very professional and Hoseok was impressed.
Hoseok also found the trip Seokjin booked for him.
So it wasn’t a last minute decision Yoongi made.
Seokjin booked this trip for him.
107)
“You spent 70$ on this trip? How much won is that even?”, Hoseok looked up the ceiling to calculate.
“It doesn’t matter.”, Seokjin said.
“It’s my welcome gift. And you found a couple of useful things on the way, right?”
108)
Seokjin waved over to the three bags which sat besides the fridge. Hoseok was still too lazy to unpack the clothes and gifts he bought for his family and friends.
“Actually I got something for you too.”, Hoseok said and Seokjin turned around slightly.
109)
“I swear, if it’s another magnet.”
Hoseok laughed when he stood up from his seat with a groan and walked over to his bags.
On Seokjin’s fridge were a bunch of magnets.
Hoseok had sent him severals already.
110)
Souvenirs from vacations but also magnets with winter motives from Gwangju Hoseok thought were cute.
Seokjin pinned Hoseok’s cards on the fridge with them as well. Hoseok was always so happy when he saw them.
111)
Hoseok squatted down in front of his bags and searched in them for the flower keychain he bought for Seokjin and himself.
Once he found it he made a happy sound and stood up.
He walked over to Seokjin and handed him the flower.
112)
Seokjin placed the knife on the cutting board and grabbed the flower.
He smiled a bit and then looked at Hoseok.
“Seriously. My colleagues will think I’m 12 again.”, he said dryly, but Hoseok grabbed Seokjin’s hand with the flower inside and squeezed it twice.
113)
“It has a cute smile.”
Seokjin snorted and shoved Hoseok’s shoulder.
“Silly”, he giggled but walked over to the bundle of keys on the kitchen table.
“Can you attach it?”, Seokjin asked and gave Hoseok the keys and keychain.
114)
Hoseok nodded and sat down again while Seokjin went back to his vegetables.
“But did you like him?”
Hoseok hummed and looked up.
“I mean Yoongi. Did you like him?”, Seokjin looked back at Hoseok and wriggled his eyebrows.
Hoseok groaned.
“Hyung. It wasn't a date!”
115)
Seokjin just shrugged as if he asked something innocent.
Meanwhile Hoseok tried to put the keychain on the ring which was already packed with keys.
They stayed silent for a while until Hoseok quietly mumbled:
“He was cute tho.”
Seokjin tried to giggled quietly.
[TIME]
116)
117)
Hoseok has spent the past three days on the streets of Seoul.
Went shopping, picked up Seokjin from work and went out with him. He even met new people who invited him to go out.
Especially young people in Seoul seemed open towards him.
118)
Hoseok was so happy when he met up for brunch with some of them. He really had a good time.
Today Hoseok didn’t really plan anything.
He wanted to go buy some groceries so he could cook for Seokjin today.
119)
The elder made some very delicious dishes these past days and today Hoseok wanted to surprise the elder.
But for now, Hoseok was riding the train towards Myeongdong Station with the small pink lunch box in his hands.
120)
Seokjin always prepared lunch for himself with the leftovers from their dinner. If he was at Myeongdong, he could as well stroll around and discover this part of Seoul a bit more. Seokjin often had company meetings all over Seoul. So no wonder he was somewhere else again.
121)
Hoseok hurried up the stairs to reach ground level.
He pulled out his phone and wanted to call Seokjin that he was at the flower shop they talked about, but then he saw someone familiar.
“Did you miss me that much?”, Yoongi asked and had a teasing smile on his lips.
122)
Hoseok stopped in front of Yoongi.
oh well
123)
Hoseok apologized several times.
He thought it was so rude but Yoongi only laughed and told him, that his friend seemed funny.
For Hoseok it was painful to smile when he indeed was a bit pissed by the fact that Seokjin was playing him like this.
124)
But at the same time, he was kind of happy to see Yoongi.
The boy still wore black shorts. These were a bit shorter tho and instead of his black shirt, he wore a white one with a wide neckline. He also had a small brown purse with him this time.
Overall Yoongi looked cute.
125)
Hoseok felt a bit weird in his oversized yellow shirt and his jogging pants besides him.
Still, Yoongi was friendly as always and invited Hoseok to a walk.
They walked along the traffic street until they turned right into a shopping area.
126)
At first Hoseok didn’t see many stores, but then they came to a street with so man people, Hoseok didn’t know where to step.
“It’s only 9am and there are already so many people?”, Hoseok asked astonished and looked around.
The LED signs and posters a bit overwhelming.
127)
“It’s still vacation time. People love to go shopping here. Besides, there is nice street food.”
Hoseok looked at Yoongi who made sure to stay close to him so they won’t be seperated.
Yoongi always looked besides himself to see if he was still there.
128)
“Since it’s our second time, do I need to call you Oppa now?”; Hoseok asked and Yoongi broke out into a laugh fit.
“Please don’t.”
“Okay, Oppa.”, Hoseok said and earned a light slap against his upper arm from Yoongi before they walked along with the crowd.
129)
“Do you want to go shopping?”, Yoongi asked.
Hoseok laughed lightly.
“Nah. I still have to spent my money on other stuff. But thanks.”
Hoseok noticed a lot of designer stores and a couple of low budged ones.
Basically everyone could spend their money here.
130)
“They have quite a lot of fake designer stuff.”; Yoongi said and pointed over to a small booth with a lot of supreme shirts.c“Please don’t buy those. Anywhere really.”
Hoseok hummed and looked at the shirt.
131)
They looked pretty accurate but he didn’t want to look up close what the difference was.
Some tourists were at the booth tho.
“Many think they support child labor and other unethical things. Better buy the real stuff or let it be.”
132)
Hoseok frowned when Yoongi told him about that.
He hoped the tourists wouldn't buy stuff there. He’d like to walk up to them but he knew he could start a fuss. So he let it be.

The longer Hoseok looked around, he realized that this was another tour Yoongi had offered.
133)
“Oppa?”, he called out for Yoongi who shook his head before he looked over to Hoseok.
“Yes?”, he said with a shaky voice.
“There’s a cat cafe around, right?” Yoongi nodded and pointed along the street.
“We need to go up there. Are you sure you want to go there now?”
134)
Hoseok nodded. He could use a coffee. He went out without anything in his stomach and slowly he started to crave something. Anything really. Maybe Yoongi knew a Seven Eleven around. But for now he needed some caffeine.
Yoongi agreed and fought his way through the crowd.
135)
It took them mere minutes to reach the street.
Yoongi pointed up to the sign which already announced the cat cafe with a cute picture of a cat.
It was a pretty contorted place. No wonder it was Yoongi’s tip to come here.
136)
They were close already. Hoseok almost had the head in his neck, looking up the building.
Suddenly he ran against someone and he almost yelped by surprise.
He then noticed he ran into Yoongi.
137)
“I’m sorry! I wasn’t looking where I was going.”, he said right away and checked if Yoongi was mad at him.
But the male wasn’t even looking at him. He looked at someone in front of the store at the bottom of the building.
A men around their age.
138)
Yoongi looked a bit uncertain. His eyebrows furrowed and his posture weirdly strained. Yoongi gulped when the male spotted him and hen both of them looked at each other for a bit too long.
Hoseok was motionless for the amount of time.
139)
Probably just someone Yoongi knew and maybe didn’t like much?
Suddenly the stranger walked up to them.
A friendly smile on his lips.
He had about Hoseok’s height but was a bit less trained.
Still, compared to Yoongi, he looked much bigger.
140)
Especially because Yoongi seemed to get even smaller with every step the stranger made towards him.
“Hey. How are you?”, he asked friendly and bowed slightly.
Yoongi was too stiff to actually bow back.
“I’m good. How about you?”, Yoongi spoke even lower than usually.
141)
“Me too. Enjoying vacations with friends.”, he said and pointed behind himself.
His friend only looked Yoongi all over and then Hoseok before he looked at his phone again.
Finally the stranger looked at Hoseok and raised his eyebrows.
142)
“Are you still getting money through this online service?”, the stranger asked.
It was a normal question, but when Hoseok looked at Yoongi, he looked a bit stressed out.
“No.”, Yoongi pressed out and now both of them were looking at Yoongi again now.
143)
Yoongi looked up at Hoseok with a twisted expression and then back at the stranger.
Then Hoseok felt something weird at his hand.
Usually he’d jerk away from anything weird, but it was a cool and pleasant feeling.
144)
He looked down and saw Yoongi’s hand which took a hold of Hoseok’s forefinger and middle finger.
It looked kind of cute but Hoseok was way too shocked to feel anything but confusion.
Didn't Yoongi never want to be touched? Was this an exception because Yoongi initiated it?
145)
“No. He’s my boyfriend.”, Yoongi said with a bit more confidence and Hoseok’s gaze jumped up to Yoongi’s face again.
Him being confused was an understatement now.
146)
“Oh. Well. That’s great!“, the stranger said after a long pause.
“You two really fit.“, he added and smiled a slim smile at Yoongi.
It looked like as if the male wanted to say something else, but when he opened his mouth, his friend interrupted him.
147)
“Can we leave now? It’s too hot.“, he whined and everyone looked over to him.
“Yeah Sure.“, Yoongi's friend said and then turned back to both of them.
“It was nice meeting you.“, he said and looked at Hoseok when he said this.
Then he turned towards Yoongi again.
148)
“You didn’t tell me if you were coming to my party. Of course you two can come together.“
Yoongi bit his bottom lip and nodded.
“I will let you know by tomorrow, okay?“
The stranger seemed satisfied with this answer and took a couple steps back.
149)
“See you.“, he said with a charming smile and turned around so he could leave with his friend.
Just when they rounded the corner and were out of sight, Yoongi let go of Hoseok’s hand.
Both looked at each other until Yoongi couldn’t stand Hoseok’s gaze anymore.
150)
A pout developed on his lips and he was fumbling with his fingers.
He also started to step around nervously.
Finally he facepalmed himself and groaned.
“Oh god. I’m sorry. I’m so sorry, Hoseok.“, he whined and looked like as if he wanted to shrink.
151)
“I will refund you! I will pay you back.“
Yoongi started to pull his bag forward and searched for his phone. He took it out with shaky hands and kept throwing apologise at Hoseok. But Hoseok himself kept calm.
The longer he saw the elder struggle, the bigger grew his smile.
152)
“Yoongi. Calm down.“, he grabbed the elders phone and pushed it down slightly.
“Would you mind explaining to me what just happened and who that guy was?“
A nervous laugh escaped Hoseok’s lips, but somehow Yoongi seemed to relax.
153)
The elder looked up at Hoseok and then to the Cat Cafe.
“Okay. Let me invite you to a coffee then.“
“Sure.“
Yoongi put away his phone again and then they started to climb the stairs.
The cafe was way up the building and Yoongi was huffing a little when they arrived on top.
154)
Therefore Hoseok went in first and talked to a waitress who lead them over to a table on the window side.
There were quite a lot of cats in that room.
Different breeds, some of them playing, some of them fast asleep.
155)
The moment Yoongi and Hoseok sat down at the table, a cat jumped up into Yoongi’s lap and got comfortable.
Yoongi huffed a smile and started to stroke the cat’s black fur.
He came here often probably.
156)
If people booked this trip, the cats in this cafe must be familiar with him already.
So Hoseok took a quick look over the menu before he placed it on the table again.
Yoongi didn’t reach out for it but instead kept stroking the cat.

It wasn’t especially cool up here.
157)
It was still a bit humid but Hoseok could handle this better than the dry heat outside. He looked out of the window and down to the people who were walking past this alley and through it. “That was my ex boyfriend.“, Yoongi mumbled and Hoseok looked at him with curious eyes.
158)
“His name is Jaebeom. We broke up a couple weeks ago, so I was surprised to see him.“
There was a pregnant pause.
“I’m sorry I said you were my boyfriend. I not only lied, but I also told someone you’d like men when- „
159)
“Ah- don’t worry about the last part.“, Hoseok threw in and for a moment their eyes met before Yoongi looked out of the window again.
A blush crept up Yoongi’s cheeks.
It looked pretty on him.
“It’s not a lie. But me being your boyfriend…”, Hoseok hissed.
160)
“Why would you even tell him something like this?”
Yoongi started to stroke the cat a bit more furious.
“You could say I’m not quite over him and I panicked.”
Hoseok observed Yoongi’s face for a while.
He looked so sad.
“What can I get you, guys?”
161)
Both looked up when the waitress stood at their table. “What would you like?”, Yoongi looked at Hoseok and sat up slightly.
“I’d like to have a Moccachino.”, Hoseok said and Yoongi nodded.
162)
“Make that two.”, he said to the waitress and when both of them were alone again, Hoseok smiled widely.
“I thought you were more of a black coffee type.”, he said and Yoongi smiled a little.
“I have a sweet tooth.”, Yoongi mumbled and shrugged.
163)
Hoseok finally placed the lunch box on the table and picked up a toothpick and played with it.
“And you thought telling him that you have a new boyfriend would make it any better?”
Hoseok almost heard Yoongi swallow.
164)
“I was hoping to make him jealous…”, Yoongi mumbled and pushed out his bottom lip a bit.
Hoseok was cooing at Yoongi’s expression.
He didn’t really know what to do.
How could he help Yoongi?
The waitress came over and placed two cups of Moccachino on the table.
165)
“Please enjoy.”, she said and bowed slightly before she left the table again.
Hoseok stirred his cup and scooped some foam into his mouth.
He hummed happily and collected more on his spoon.
166)
They placed a little cookie by the side which Hoseok picked up and also dragged through the foam before he started to nibble on it.
Yoongi only simply picked up the cup and took a sip before he placed it back down.
167)
The cat in Yoongi’s lap meowed and obviously wanted some attention again which Yoongi gave her.
“Why are you so needy, hm?”, Yoongi asked the cat and booped her nose.
Hoseok chuckled at the scene.
Suddenly it came to his mind.
“Let’s go.”
168)
Yoongi looked up with a confused look.
“You didn’t finish your drink yet.”, he said.
Hoseok laughed.
“Not now. I mean the party! Let’s try to make him jealous. Let’s get him back.”
Maybe Hoseok was a bit too euphoric.
Yoongi didn’t seem as energetic.
169)
He looked a bit sceptical.
“Are you…”, Yoongi gulped.
“You don’t even know me. Why would you help me?”
“I like you.”, Hoseok answered right away.
“I want to help you. Let me be your fake boyfriend for the summer break until we break up tragically.”
170)
Yoongi was right. Hoseok didn't know him at all. But something inside of him was urging him to do it.
Finally Yoongi showed him a wide smile.
“Okay.”, he said a bit hesitant. Maybe because he thought Hoseok was joking with him.
His gazes said just the same.
171)
“Please don’t play any games with me. My heart is too fragile.”
Hoseok laughed and ate the rest of his cookie.
“Promised. But-..”
When Hoseok said the B-words, Yoongi looked a bit scared.
“If I help you out now… Will you pay /me/ then?”
Yoongi sighed relieved.
172)
“I will pay for your food and drinks.”
Hoseok hummed satisfied and smirked.
“Well fine.”, he said and took another sip from his Moccachino.
Just then a cat jumped up their table and Hoseok jerked a bit.
Yoongi’s laugh this time was a bit lighter.
Happier and more natural.
173)
Hoseok was sure, this was the best idea if only he could hear Yoongi laugh like this again any time soon.
174)
175)
176)
"So March 9th.", Hoseok said out loud once Yoongi told him all about his birthday and about his past celebrations which were all so cute and just heartwarming, at least most of them.
Yoongi disliked parties apparently.
He went from time to time but preferred not to.
177)
Instead he liked to go out for dinner or do a board game evening with his friends.
This year Jaebeom had forced him to throw a big ass party. Because he was 21. Finally an adult. Finally able to drink.
Yoongi would have liked cuddles that evening more.
178)
Maybe some cake or take out.
Everything would have been better than cleaning up their flat the next day.
Especially because Yoongi needed to do it on his own, Jaebeom too hangover to really help.
But even when Hoseok was a bit pissed by his story, Yoongi only smiled.
179)
Somehow it must be some good memory still.
"You are a Pisces then.", Hoseok said and grinned at Yoongi who was laying on his bed.
Hoseok was so excited when he entered Yoongi’s flat.
It was a tiny one, really.
180)
One room with a tiny kitchen unit. The bath separately and only a small space in front of the door to leave your shoes.
At first Hoseok thought Yoongi moved here after their breakup, but he always lived here.
181)
And Hoseok also noticed small details.
One wall was a bit blue. Something like a baby blue. Not too obvious but it changed the mood of the room a bit.
Yoongi had a couple pictures on the blackboard over his desk.
Most of them made in this room.
Yoongi looked happy on those.
182)
There was also one with Jaebeom. Yoongi on his lap, Jaebeoms arms around his lower body, hugging him softly. The small smile on Yoongi’s lips was adorable.
There were also residues of sellotape on the walls.
Yoongi must have had posters up at the walls at some point.
183)
At the moment, Hoseok sat in a chair besides the bed.
Yoongi had thrown himself on it once he got more comfortable with Hoseok around.
Yoongi always seemed a little stiff in the beginning when they were together.
It was more humid now and Yoongi’s room was cool.
184)
Hoseok never wanted to leave this flat again.
"Starsigns?", Yoongi wondered and hummed when Hoseok nodded.
"I never thought about star signs. I think that's all just commerce."
Hoseok huffed. "It's not everybody's thing but it's interesting."
185)
"What are trademarks of a Pisces?", Yoongi asked with a smirk on his lips.
Hoseok leaned back in the chair and looked at the walls.
It has been a while since the last time he talked about signs but he had quite a lot of Pisces friends.
He hummed and finally found his words.
186)
"Pisces are sensitive water signs. They really wear their heart on their sleeves and are great listeners because they are very empathetic. They are creative and have a great imagination and they are just adorable when they are in love.", Hoseok said with a smile.
187)
"Pisces often don't expect people to give them back what they gave. They just love to be in love."
"Being in love sucks.", Yoongi mumbled after he stared at Hoseok for a while and then flopped on his belly.
Yoongi buried his face in the bed and sighed.
Hoseok giggled.
188)
"I like Pisces. They are very lovely."
At Hoseok's words, Yoongi tilted his head over and looked at Hoseok again as if he was waiting for something.
But then he turned sideways again.
"When is your birthday?"
"February 18th. I'm an Aquarius."
"mhm"
189)
Yoongi was still looking at him as if he was about to ask something.
"Oppa, we will get along. No worries.", Hoseok finally said with the widest grin yet and Yoongi groaned loudly.
"Please stoooop!", he cried and wriggled on the bed.
190)
"Okay. What's next.", Hoseok asked and looked up the ceiling.
"Did we talk about our favorite colors?", Hoseok asked and Yoongi looked up again.
"You didn't tell me about your birthday parties yet."
191)
A huge grin appeared on Hoseok's lips.
"Oh really.", he mumbled.
Already excited to tell Yoongi everything about his last birthday party with his friends.
192)
193)
After almost 24 hours, Hoseok felt like as if he knew Yoongi for a lifetime.
They talked about all the things they liked and disliked.
Hoseok could say he was an expert now.
He even knew about Yoongi’s last few trips and that he prefered city tours over beach vacations.
194)
The elders favorite street food was lamb skewers and he didn’t like soda because it made his mouth sticky. Especially cola.
Yoongi didn’t like seafood. Especially anything with tenticals. Hoseok only agreed.
195)
His favorite color was black although Hoseok argued with Yoongi over half an hour that black wasn’t even a color to begin with.
They mae up rules. Very simple ones.
They agreed on holding hands.
At first Yoongi told Hoseok that they should get used to it.
196)
That even tho they shouldn’t do it in public that often, they should hold hands whenever a perfect oppertunity came up.
And of course every time Jaebeom was looking.
It should be a reflex.
But after a couple hours Hoseok was convinced Yoongi was just enjoying holding hands.
197)
He was always a bit hesitent to take Hoseok’s hand but also held firmly once they grabbed each other.
Hoseok wouldn’t say the elder was clinging to him.
But he was the one who let go first most of the time, while Yoongi held to him always a bit longer.
198)
Hoseok also liked holding Yoongi’s hand but their hands were sweaty sometimes and Hoseok also liked to gesture a lot while talking.
So sometimes he felt a bit restricted.
But just because Yoongi looked so happy when holding hands, Hoseok didn’t complain.
199)
Sometimes he teased Yoongi with a „Oppa, you are crushing my hand.“, and sometimes Yoongi let go of Hoseok’s hand then, pouting until Hoseok took his hand again.
Hoseok thought it was adorable.
200)
They had spent the morning in Yoongi’s flat.
Then they went out for lunch, Yoongi showed Hoseok a couple of places tourists loved to visit.
Later they sat down for a cold drink and Yoongi showed Hoseok Jaebeom's social media.
Hoseok was amazed.
201)
Jaebeom seemed like a truely nice guy and he loved socializing.
But even when he was really nice, Hoseok didn’t compleatly understand what Yoongi liked so much about him.
It seemed like as if Jaebeom was living his life how he wanted to.
202)
It seemed like as if Jaebeom was living his life how he wanted to. With lots of parties and Yoongi lending him money whenever.
And Yoongi was silently supporting him. He was proud, he said, that Jaebeom was living his dream.
203)
Hoseok coldn't see what Yoongi got out of their relationship but maybe he viewed it the wrong way.
At least Yoongi looked happy when he talked about their trips, so Hoseok only smiled.
204)
„His band is playing live on the streets sometimes. They always post on instagram beforehand. We should defininetly check them out!“, Yoongi suggested and Hoseok agreed.
Somehow he was curious if the boy was really as talented as Yoongi told him.
205)
In the evening both of them sat at the Han River with beer and delivery, talking for hours.
Hoseok didn’t even notice that they spent all night there.
It was fun to talk to Yoongi.
They never had an uncomfortable break and if they every ended up silent, it was comfortable.
206)
He just realized how long he was with away, when Seokjin called him in the morning and told him to come home.
Hoseok almost slept in when he took the train to Seokjin's flat.
But once he arrived, he was so excited to talk about his day with Yoongi.
207)
Still, Seokjin was a bit angry that Hoseok was away for so long.
Hoseok promised him not to do this again.
He was truely sorry and Hoseok felt like shit when he wasn't able to express his feelings properly.
When Seokjin left for work, Hoseok fell in his bed.
208)
He didn’t even change clothes.
He just closed his eyes and fell into a deep slumber.
Maybe he could show Seokjin a couple of places Yoongi showed him today.
But first he needed to rest.
209)
Because once Hoseok opened his eyes again, he already had a couple of messages from Yoongi and he knew they would go to that party tonight.
Hoseok just had to find the perfect outfit.
210)
211)
212)
Hoseok was throwing a tennis ball against the wall while Yoongi sat in front of his mirror.
He tried to fix his bangs.
For quite a while now.
A frustrated huff escaped his throat.
“It won’t stay the way I want it.”, Yoongi mumbled and Hoseok huffed.
213)
It was so warm. Hoseok thought he was about to die.
Yesterday, it wasn’t that hot in Yoongi’s flat. Maybe because it has been early then?
“Don’t bother. Once we reached the party it won’t sit anyways.”
Yoongi looked over to him for a moment. He was kind of frustrated.
214)
“You look good.”, Hoseok said and catched the ball which was bouncing back from the wall.
It smelled of Yoongi’s perfume.
A fresh but also prominent scent.
Hoseok liked the parfum.
He himself only used neutral scents.
215)
“It’s adorable when you fix your hair.”, Hoseok imitated Yoongi’s movements and giggled when Yoongi scowled at him.
“For real. Stop spraying hairspray into your hair. They won’t be fluffy anymore.”
“I don’t want fluffy hair.”, Yoongi said and tried to fix his hair again.
216)
“I want to look sexy.”
Hoseok snorted and stood up.
It was 11pm already. Even tho they planned to leave later, Hoseok was ready.
He walked up to Yoongi and ruffled Yoongi styled hair which made the elder cry out.
217)
Hoseok snorted when Yoongi leaned closer to the mirror again and tried to save anything really. It didn’t take Hoseok much longer to convince Yoongi to leave. He complimented him a bit more, until Yoongi blushed. Yoongi blushed quickly. Hoseok could use that to his advantage
218)
Jaebeom probably like that as well, right? “Okay, we should stay close. Maybe not old hands. There are many people and it might be weird.”, Yoongi said once they reached the house after quite a long ride. It wasn’t Jaebeom’s place.
219)
Even Yoongi didn’t know whose house this was.
But there were people outside, laying in the grass or leaning against their cars.
“Do we have a plan?”, Hoseok finally asked.
It was going through his head a lot.
But somehow he asked just now.
220)
Yoongi was looking at him for a moment.
He seemed unsure as well.
“I don’t know. Do you want to plan something?”, Yoongi asked and stopped in his track.
Hoseok also stopped. He didn’t know.
“I-..hm.”, Hoseok stepped around for a moment.
221)
“I don’t know what your goal is for today.”, Hoseok answered and raised his brows.
Yoongi looked back at him and then away.
“I mean if we can get him jealous today that’d be great.”, he mumbled and Hoseok saw that Yoongi was flustered.
222)
“Alright. But if you want him to be jealous, you need to stop being a shy bean.”
Hoseok stepped up to Yoongi and threw his arm around his shoulder.
“Holding hands is lame.”, he said and dragged Yoongi along.
223)
At first Yoongi seemed unsure, but once they entered the flat he loosened up slightly.
It was packed.
Hoseok retreated his arm, but placed it on the small of Yoongi’s back.
Someone walked straight towards them with a big smile.
224)
Hoseok looked at Yoongi for a second but his gaze was just as confused as Hoseok felt.
Suddenly the person lifted two small glasses which were out of sight previously.
Then Hoseok understood.
“Hey, guys. Welcome.”, he said simply and handed Yoongi and Hoseok the shots.
225)
He quickly disappeared in the crowd again.
At first they looked after him but then they touched glasses and swallowed the burning liquid.
Hoseok crunched up his nose but Yoongi only laughed at his face.
226)
He grabbed Hoseok’s glass as well and placed them on the sideboard in the hallway. They then tried to get through the crowd and quickly ended up in the living room. Hoseok already saw several bottles of beer, stronger liquor and a bowl of punch which was almost empty.
227)
People were brushing their bodies.
“What do you want to drink?”, Hoseok asked and looked at Yoongi who was currently scanning his surroundings.
He was probably searching for Jaebeom.
The music was pretty loud. Maybe that’s why Yoongi didn’t answer him.
228)
Hoseok smiled at Yoongi’s expression. Eyes big and his mouth slightly open. Hoseok reached up to Yoongi’s strands and pulled on his hair gently.
“Oppa.”, he yelled a bit louder.
He noticed that other people turned and looked at him weirdly.
229)
But Yoongi turned to him with that cute expression.
“What do you want to drink?”
Yoongi licked his lips and looked past Hoseok.
“Anything. I don’t care.”, he eyed the bowl though.
Hoseok stepped to the alcohol and search for two cups.
230)
A couple of them laid around, probably knocked over by others.
Hoseok checked twice if the cups were clean before he used the ladle to get punch inside of the cups.
Suddenly Yoongi pressed up to his side.
“I saw him.”, Yoongi said nervously.
Hoseok grinned. “That’s great."
231)
He filled the cups and dropped the ladle back into the bowl.
He handed Yoongi the cup, bumped his own against Yoongi's and took a big gulp.
Just when the liquid touched his tongue, Hoseok wondered if everything today was high-proof.
The alcohol was burning in his throat.
232)
Yoongi looked around again.
“Calm down. You seem so desperate.”, Hoseok laughed and turned towards the bowl again.
Even though something was disgusting about the feeling in his mouth, it was oddly tasty.
“Do I seem like an easy lay?”, Yoongi asked nervously.
233)
Hoseok only laughed and shook his head.
“No, you are anything but easy.”, Hoseok answered him and started to drink his second cup.
Yoongi nibbled his bottom lip while he looked into his cup.
He sniffed at it and then frowned up at Hoseok.
234)
“There’s strawberry juice inside. I don’t like that.”
Hoseok raised his eyebrows and quickly took the last gulp from his cup before he put both their cups together and then sipped Yoongi’s.
“Then take a beer.”, he said simply before he looked around for Jaebeom as well.
235)
Some clubsong was playing. Many people danced in the living room, a couple ones sat on the couch or on other furniture.
Since the hallway was packed as well, Hoseok figured that the other rooms were also full.
236)
At the moment he didn’t even care that he didn’t know where he was.
Whoever hosted this party could impossibly know all of these people as well.
Hoseok was just happy to be with others.
He liked going out from time to time and this house party looked promising.
237)
But he should also stay focused.
“By the way, about your no-touch-policy.”, Hoseok leaned a bit down so Yoongi could catch his words properly.
“This whole thing became a bit blurry."
He didn't want Yoongi to feel uncomfortable.
238)
“Hoseok, you are my fake boyfriend for now. Not my customer.”, Yoongi said simply and shrugged. “I think I can trust you not to do anything I don't want.”
Hoseok hummed and looked all over Yoongi’s face until the elder looked away flustered.
239)
“Stop staring at me like this.”, Yoongi said grumpily, but Hoseok only laughed.
He loved to see Yoongi turn red.
It was truly entertaining.
Hoseok licked his teeth with a grin and took another sip from the punch while Yoongi nibbled on the bottle in his hand.
240)
“Why didn’t he come over?”, Hoseok asked and Yoongi looked at him with a frown.
“I mean, why didn’t he greet you?”
“Ah. He didn’t see me.”, Yoongi said.
Someone with shots walked past them.
Hoseok grabbed one and swallowed the liquid.
241)
“Well, then we should make sure he does.”, Hoseok said.
Many things happened after this.
Hoseok dragged Yoongi in between the people.
At first Yoongi was a bit grumpy about it.
How could Jaebeom find him in this bustle,right?
242)
Yoongi barely drank from his beer, he still looked around often and Hoseok wanted to see him having fun at least once.
So after Hoseok had started to dance up to Yoongi, after Hoseok made some silly moves and made Yoongi laugh, he loosened up slightly.
243)
He started dancing too, a bit clumsy in the beginning tho, but after a while he got the hang of it.
Hoseok lost his cup eventually. He dropped it somewhere, but he didn’t care either once he jumped on the table.
Three other people were up there as well.
244)
Hoseok put on a show.
He liked dancing in his free time so he showed off a little.
People were cheering for him and Yoongi was looking up to him with the biggest smile.
If he thought Hoseok looked silly, that was fine. At least he had fun.
They danced for quite a while.
245)
Hoseok felt the buzz of alcohol in his body. Satisfying and comfortable.
Not too much and not too little. And once another song ended, Hoseok noticed someone staring at him.
From his place on the table, Hoseok had free sight to the hallway.
246)
Jaebeom stood in the door frame with two other friends who were talking to each other tho.
But Jaebeom was staring at Hoseok.
Hoseok pushed his hair back and stepped down the table.
He stepped towards Yoongi and guided the male backwards a little.
247)
“You are crazy.”, Yoongi laughed.
“You can dance though! It looks like fun when you do it.”
While Yoongi walked backwards, he tried to turn once, but Hoseok grabbed his hips and kept him in place.
Yoongi shouldn’t see Jaebeom yet.
248)
There was still enough distance to Jaebeom, Hoseok decided.
“Do you know now what it means to have fun?”, he asked Yoongi who then shoved his shoulder.
“Don’t act like as if I don’t know how to spell fun.”
Hoseok grinned and pulled Yoongi a bit towards him.
249)
“What do you mean? You are a grumpy Oppa.”
Yoongi snorted and grabbed the front of Hoseok’s shirt.
At one point Hoseok lost his jacket and bumbag as well.
He should be worried about that. But at the moment he had no thoughts left for this.
Hoseok leaned in a bit.
250)
Yoongi blinked confused and seemed to shy away from the closeness.
Hoseok pulled Yoongi impossible closer.
Yoongi placed his hands on Hoseok’s arms, as if he was about to push him away.
„He’s watching.“, Hoseok whispered into Yoongi’s ear.
Hot and a bit too close.
251)
His lips were touching Yoongi’s earlobe.
Yoongi froze and then squeezed Hoseok’s sweaty skin.
„What do we do.“, Yoongi asked breathy and Hoseok almost laughed.
He couldn’t stop himself from grinning tho.
Jaebeom was staring at Hoseok way too obviously.
252)
The boy had no intention of hiding himself.
Most people would look away once they’d lock gaze, but Jaebeom didn’t even blink while he stared at Hoseok.
Hoseok wanted to push the situation a bit further.
“I have a plan.”, Hoseok mumbled.
253)
Smoothly and a bit too intimate, Hoseok ran his hands from Yoongi’s hips around and up to his back.
Hoseok wasn’t the one to break eye contact first, but this time he blinked away and down at Yoongi’s neck.
The boys light skin looked so pretty.
254)
Shining slightly, probably because he was sweating while they danced.
Even and like porcelain.
So Hoseok attached his lips to Yoongi’s skin and sucked.
He heard Yoongi gasp, probably because he didn’t expect Hoseok to do something like this.
255)
Hoseok didn’t even know if he was crossing the line at the moment. Probably. But Yoongi took it.
Even craned his neck a bit more for more excess.
Hoseok detached his lips once Yoongi made a sound in discomfort. A string of spit connected Hoseok’s lips with the now red flesh.
256)
He was quite satisfied with the outcome.
Really, Hoseok loved giving hickeys.
A bit too much if you’d ask his past lovers but nobody ever complained out loud.
His mind clouded by Yoongi‘s parfum, Hoseok stared at the hickey a bit more.
He wanted to deepen the color.
257)
Wanted to suck on the skin a bit more.
But Yoongi woke Hoseok from his trance. Maybe the alcohol made him digress.
„Is he still looking?“, Yoongi asked and Hoseok’s gaze twitched up.
He searched for Jaebeom but the male was nowhere to be seen. Fuck.
258)
„He’s gone.“, Hoseok then said and immediately Yoongi moved away from him.
He turned around and looked towards the hallway but Jaebeom probably walked into another room.
Maybe his friends dragged him along.
Yoongi cursed loud enough for Hoseok to hear.
259)
„He saw it.“, Hoseok said and held Yoongi’s gaze once he looked over.
Something sat on the tip of Yoongi’s tongue.
Something he hesitated to speak out.
Instead of voicing his thoughts, Yoongi just shook his head.
260)
„I’m going to look for him.“, he said and before Hoseok could reach out to him, Yoongi squeezed through the other people.
Now he was all by himself. Well not toally, but it didn’t take much time until people closed the gap Yoogi left.
261)
Hoseok didn’t move for now.
He didn’t try to go after Yoongi or anything.
Maybe he was mad at him for sucking a hickey into his skin.
Usually Hoseok was quite confident about what he did.
But alcohol made Hoseok always a bit slower and a bit more whiny.
262)
Therefore Hoseok was scared to follow Yoongi now.
He didn’t know if he should let him some space.
Maybe Yoongi would find Jaebeom and then they’d kiss or anything.
Maybe Jaebeom got jealous. Maybe Yoongi would find him.
263)
And maybe Jaebeom would tell Yoongi that he didn’t like what he saw. Yoongi would be happy about that.
Utopian. But possible.
Hoseok still remembered Jaebeom’s piercing gaze.
Maybe Yoongi achieved his goal quicker than he thought and Hoseok fulfilled his role.
264)
Hoseok should use tonight and get to know more people.
So he started to move back into the crowd.
He looked around, but could barely focus on the people around himself.
265)
Another person with a tray full of shots walked through the crowd and Hoseok picked on up before he swallowed it, his mouth slowly numb to the taste.
Hoseok tried to listen to the music and feel the tunes empower his body, but everything was just a mush.
266)
Instead, Hoseok was thinking about Yoongi.
He was scared he fucked something up. That Yoongi was mad at him.
And maybe it was just a little nudge inside of his body, but it soon grew into something bigger.
Hoseok didn’t eat anything since 5pm.
267)
He later rode the train to Yoongi and ever since his tummy was empty.
Maybe he drank a bit more than he should have.
Hoseok spent enough time in the living room in between bodies to realize, that the alcohol only needed little time to settle.
268)
The high pulled him into the music, made him roll his body and drink even more. Someone offered him a couple shots which Hoseok drank without thinking twice about it.
It was stupid. Truely. Anyone could give Hoseok some drugged drink.
He’d take it.
269)
After his fifth shot, Hoseok couldn’t focus on his surroundings anymore.
Someone was pressed up against his front.
A small figure with way too sweet parfum.
Hoseok grabbed the person by the shoulders and pushed them back slightly.
He stared at the face.
270)
A young girl, probably just as drunk as him.
„Dance with me!“, she screamed over the music which got louder as time passed.
Her lipstick and eyeliner was smudgy.
Hoseok couldn’t even concentrated on the words she said.
271)
He was confused but then realized, that he didn’t want this.
The girl was about to dance up into his space again, when Hoseok tried to get out of the crowd.
He didn’t want a girl to dance with him.
He’d rather have some fun with Yoongi.
272)
Yoongi would probably think it was silly but then dance with Hoseok anyways.
The boy made him laugh so he couldn’t accept being seperated anymore.
Jaebeom or not.
Hoseok stumbled along the hallway.
273)
He saw some people laugh, kiss and they were exchanging small packages with pills.
Of course. Welcome to colleague life. Hoseok heard from his older friends, that he should stay away from drugs and from people who dealt with them.
So Hoseok passed them quickly as well.
274)
His goal was Yoongi.
Finding his blonde hair in between all the people shouldn’t be so hard.
But he strolled through many rooms and Yoongi was nowhere to be seen.
Slowly frustration built up inside of Hoseok.
He wanted to apologize for his behaviour.
Now.
275)
Suddenly Hoseok passed a bigger window.
He stopped for a moment and looked outside.
A couple people were in front of the house.
And just in front of the window happened to be a porch swing.
Hoseok recognized the blonde mob of hair right away.
276)
He looked at the other male and saw Jaebeom.
There was space in between them.
A lot actually.
And still, Hoseok felt something bubble up in his chest.
He didn’t like to name it tho.
Hoseok quickly walked towards the front door.
277)
He needed to wait for a group of drunk girls to pass the hallway, before he could exit the house.
Once he stood outside, he took a very deep breath.
The air was fresh and cool compared to the heat inside.
Hoseok quickly turned left and walked to the hollywood porch.
278)
Once he arrived, Yoongi looked up immediately and was a bit shocked.
Hoseok sighed heavily and sounded a bit too dramatic.
Suddenly he noticed that his knees were wobbly, so he kneeled down and slowly got comfortable in front of Yoongi.
279)
„I’m so sorry.“, he said weakly and looked up at Yoongi with his eyebrows pulled together.
„I’m really sorry. Do you hate me now?“, he asked and he heard himself slur.
His mouth was too weak for this at the moment.
280)
Yoongi gaped like a fish and looked at Hoseok as if he was a lost puppy.
„Please don’t hate me.“, Hoseok babbled further and he felt how his throat tightened.
Obviously Yoongi was a bit embarrassed by Hoseok who was almost laying on the floor in front of him.
281)
Yoongi tried to search for words and Hoseok focused on Yoongi’s lip movements meanwhile.
He couldn’t tell what Yoongi was trying to say.
He was probably overchallanged with the situation and it bothered Hoseok, that Yoongi didn’t tell him not to worry right away.
282)
Result of this situation was that Hoseok’s view got blurry and soon some tears spilled from his eyes.
„Oh my god, Hoseok.“, Yoongi finally said and grabbed Hoseok by his shoulder.
„Stop crying. I’m not mad! I don’t hate you.“
283)
„You left me alone.“, Hoseok hiccuped and stroke over his cheeks.
„You looked at me like THAT and then left.“, Hoseok said as if Yoongi knew what kind of look he meant.
Suddenly another hand touched Hoseok.
284)
The person drew big circles on his back and when Hoseok looked over, Jaebeom was kneeling besides him and smiling kindly.
„Don’t cry. Crying doesn’t suit you.“, he said calmly and Hoseok sobbed even more. Jaebeom’s warm hand felt so good on his body.
285)
Suddenly Yoongi stroke his fingers over Hoseok’s cheeks.
An attempted to clean his face from the wetness.
It was a bit clumsy but Hoseok appreciated the gesture.
Or tried to. Because suddenly the circles on his back made him sick.
And so Hoseok happened to throw up.
286)
Luckily a plant was nearby. Hoseok leaned into the pot and emptied his stomach into it.
There wasn’t much inside tho., Hoseok gasped once the first wave ebbed away.
Some people were giggling around them and others made disgusted sounds.
Jaebeom stopped rubbing his back.
287)
„I will get him some water.“, he said and then went inside.
Yoongi finally stood up from the swing and squatted down besides Hoseok.
„I’m sorry.“, he said lowly. He now stroke Hoseok’s upper arm awkwardly.
„I’m sorry I left you alone.“
288)
Hoseok wanted to say something but instead he needed to throw up again.
He hated it. Everything about it really.
The taste, the burn, the feeling.
At this point, Hoseok was wondering if Yoongi would never text him again after today.
289)
If he’d help him home and then never reach out to him again.
The thought made him cry even more.
„I never thought you’d be a crybaby when drunk.“, Yoongi said once Hoseok stopped vomiting the second time and tried to get some air into his lungs, coughing meanwhile.
290)
Hoseok spat something out of his mouth and twisted up his face.
„I’m not.“, he said and eyed Yoongi for a moment. „Usually.“, he added and then looked away. He must look ugly.
He heard Yoongi snicker and just in this moment, Jaebeom joined them again.
291)
The boy placed a bottle and a towle besides Hoseok.
„Clean your face and mouth.“
Hoseok grabbed the bottle right away and took a sip before he washed his mouth and spat it out again. He then grabbed the towel and rubbed all over his face.
292)
Once he didn’t feel that sick anymore, he grabbed the water bottle again and drank a few sips.
„Next time you should eat something besides ice cream.“, Yoongi said and pushed Hoseok’s hair out of his face.
293)
Hoseok only whined and closed his eyes when he felt Yoongi’s hands on his skin.
Maybe Yoongi would stroke his hair a bit.
But Yoongi retreated his hand and then grabbed the towel and cleaned up Hoseok’s face a bit more.
"Let’s go home.“, Yoongi said.
294)
His voice warm and almost like a hum.
Home.
Did Yoongi think of the same home like Hoseok?
Hoseok wanted to cuddle up to Seokjin.
The elder barely offered himself but sometimes, when Hoseok was whiny enough, he’d make some space in his huge bed.
295)
Seokjin gave the best hugs, really.
Yoongi pulled Hoseok up by his arms and took the bottle in his own hand.
„Can you walk alone?“, Yoongi asked and Hoseok nodded.
He wasn’t sure tho.
Yoongi huffed a laugh.
296)
„Cool party. Let’s talk again soon.“, Yoongi said and smiled back at Jaebeom who sat on the swing again.
„Thanks.“, Hoseok mumbled and kept walking down the porch.
Yoongi followed him right away and grabbed his upper arm.
„How much did you drink?“
297)
„A little.“, Hoseok answered, grinning stupidly.
„A little too much.“, Yoongi said and linked arms with Hoseok.
He sighed heavily and Hoseok stopped smiling.
Maybe he shouldn’t be grinning like this.
298)
He just ruined Yoongi’s evening and their first attempt to make Jaebeom jealous.
But Hoseok couldn’t stop to feel happy now. Something was funny about this situation.
Hoseok's drunk mind just didn’t know what yet.
299)
“How are you feeling?”, Yoongi asked after a couple blocks.
They were still clinging to each other.
The dizzy feeling in his head made it even harder for him to walk straight.
Yoongi couldn’t really help him with that problem either.
“I’m okay. I just feel sick.”
300)
Yoongi mumbled something but shook his head with a chuckle.
“Give me your adresse. We need to get you home.”, Yoongi then said and stopped. He also pulled out his phone.
Hoseok smacked his lips a couple times.
His brain wasn’t able to focus.
301)
“Uh- I ...uhh…”, Hoseok frowned and pressed his lips together.
“What’s up?”, Yoongi asked, Google Maps already opened.
“I-I don’t k-know the address.”, Hoseok stammered and frowned.
He really couldn’t remember the address.
302)
“You-...what?”, Yoongi laughed nervously as if Hoseok made a bad joke.
“I can’t remember. I always use my phone. I have Seokjin’s place in my favorites.”
“You don’t remember your friends address?”, Yoongi locked his phone again.
303)
“I’m handicapped.”, Hoseok groaned and leaned a bit against Yoongi who then grabbed Hoseok’s arm a bit stronger.
For a moment Hoseok imagined he heard Yoongi think.
Maybe it was his tired mind.
Hoseok wanted to rest.
304)
“Then give me your phone.”, Yoongi mumbled and Hoseok sighed.
He patted around his hips, into his back pocket and then at the front.
A couple passed them and looked at them weirdly.
Yoongi sighed.
“I don’t have it.”, Hoseok mumbled.
“What?”, Yoongi shrieked.
305)
“I think I lost it.”
“Wasn’t it in your bumbag?” Yoongi commented.
“I lost that one too. At the party.”
“Just like your jacket?”, Yoongi asked and groaned when Hoseok nodded.
He took a couple of deep breaths.
306)
He straightened himself up and stepped away, only to throw up again.
Hoseok’s sickness came back out of nowhere and he couldn’t help himself.
Yoongi was now clinging to his arm even more.
“Okay. Okay.”, he said over and over before he patted Hoseok’s back.
307)
“My god. You can stay at my place for now.”, Yoongi sighed and guided Hoseok along the street.
“I will text Jaebeom later. Maybe he can collect your bag and jacket.”
Hoseok spat on the ground once more before he stroke over his mouth.
308)
Hoseok remembered they arrived with the bus before. But this time they walked back all the way.
Sometimes they needed to stop until Hoseok collected himself again.
“A girl danced up to me.”, Hoseok mumbled once they stood in front of Yoongi’s door.
309)
Yoongi looked up at Hoseok for a moment. He couldn’t find the keyhole at the moment.
He laughed though.
“And?”, Yoongi looked back and finally pushed the key in.
The lock clicked once Yoongi turned the key.
310)
“I don’t think I like girls at all.”, Hoseok mumbled and made Yoongi laugh loudly again.
“C’mon. You can wash up and then we should rest.”
Yoongi pushed the door open and then guided Hoseok in.

When Hoseok awoke the next morning he didn’t really remember what happened.
311)
He just knew that Yoongi lent him a toothbrush and let him sleep in his bed.
There was enough room for the both of them.
But when Hoseok opened his eyes again, Yoongi was already walking around in his flat.
312)
The room smelled of Yoongi’s shower gel and Yoongi’s hair was still a bit wet.
He rubbed a towel through his locks.
Hoseok groaned and rolled on his belly.
Yoongi shuffled in the room. “Good Morning.”, he said with a laugh and stepped up to the bed.
313)
“Do you want to take a shower?”
Hoseok hummed but didn’t move.
“Is toast okay for breakfast?”
Hoseok hummed but still didn’t move.
Yoongi laughed and walked to his kitchen unit.
Hoseok liked listening to the giggles and the warmth around him made him feel relaxed.
314)
He was sure that Yoongi wouldn’t mind if he would lay in his bed a bit longer.
Plus Yoongi’s detergent smelled really good.
The elder hummed while he prepared breakfast.
His steps feather light on the floor.
Hoseok doze off slightly again.
315)
Next time Hoseok opened his eyes, it was because of the smell of pancakes.
Hoseok lifted his head slightly and spotted a water bottle.
It was still sealed. A pill besides.
Hoseok chuckled at himself.
316)
He sat up with a groan and grabbed the bottle before he swallowed the pill and drank half the bottle.
Apparently Hoseok had undressed yesterday. He was just in his boxers and one sock was hanging from his left foot which he pulled up sloppily.
317)
Yoongi threw a piece of clothes at him.
„Pull on some pants.“, Yoongi mumbled and broke a piece from his pancakes to taste them.
Hoseok quickly stood up and pulled the pants over his butt.
They were a tight fit.
„Do you want coffee? Tea?“
318)
„Water is just fine.“, Hoseok rumbled and looked outside Yoongi’s window.
A couple of kids were playing in the backyard.
Yoongi’s neighborhood seemed very family friendly. At least that was what Hoseok noticed these past days.
319)
„Sorry for crashing at your place.“, Hoseok said rueful. He really was a burden for Yoongi.
„Hoseok, please. It’s okay. You didn’t bother me.“, Yoongi turned around and eyed Hoseok for a moment.
A fresh breeze was running over Hoseok's chest.
320)
„I texted Seokjin. Apparently he’s very worried because you didn’t come home yesterday. He gave me the address and I can walk you home later. I don’t know when Jaebeom-..:“, Yoongi didn’t even finish his sentence when someone knocked on his door.
321)
Hoseok looked at Yoongi, who seemed a bit tense.
While he walked up to the door, Hoseok stepped up to the kitchen unit and eyed the pancakes.
They were perfectly brown and not a single one was burned.
„You are early.“, Hoseok heard Yoongi say once he opened the door.
322)
„Yeah. I couldn’t really sleep.“, Jaebeom said and chuckled. „Besides I was thinking about your message a lot.“
An awkward silence. Hoseok’s mind was racing. Did Yoongi expect him do do something?
Yoongi wasn’t saying anything as well.
323)
So Hoseok did the only thing that came to his mind.
He still had no shirt on and was proud of his body.
Hoseok worked out. He wasn’t packed but he liked his toned shoulders, chest and belly.
And the sun had turned his skin into honey during his time at his friends pool.
324)
So he stepped away from the kitchen unit and walked along the small hallway towards the door.
Jaebeom’s eyes flickered from Yoongi at Hoseok and back before he finally looked into Hoseok’s eyes.
„I mean your message about Hoseok’s stuff.“, Jaebeom added and raised a bag.
325)
Hoseok stepped up behind Yoongi and hugged him.
He pressed his nose into Yoongi’s freshly washed hair and then looked past the blonde hair at Jaebeom.
„Thank you so much!“, he said and let go of Yoongi again but didn’t step back.
„Sorry for troubling you.“
326)
„It wasn’t my plant.“, Jaebeom said with a tiny smile.
„And I don’t mind taking a walk in the morning.“
Jaebeom handed over the bag and Hoseok took it with a small bow.
„I could have picked it up though.“, Yoongi mentioned but Jaebeom waved him off.
327)
„Don’t worry.“
Now his eyes flickered more often towards Hoseok’s naked, upper body.
Hoseok needed to bite the inside of his cheek so he wouldn’t grin out of amusement.
328)
„Do you want to eat breakfast with us?“, Hoseok suddenly said and Yoongi turned his head to look at him.
Hoseok looked back and smiled at Yoongi.
„He made enough for a whole family.“
A blush crept up Yoongi’s neck and cheeks.
329)
„I mean if you are okay with that.“, Jaebeom said hesitant.
„Sure. Even though I don’t have much space.“, Yoongi mumbled and stepped aside.
Hoseok also made room for Jaebeom who then stepped in and pulled of his sneakers before he walked into the flat.
330)
„Put your shirt on.“, Yoongi said with a pout and slapped Hoseok’s chest. The sound a bit louder than expected.
Hoseok only giggled while he stepped back into Yoongi’s room and searched for his shirt which he pulled over then.
331)
The front door made a loud sound when it fell shut.
Jaebeom looked around the almost empty flat.
His face showed confusion.
„Was this the only flat you were able to get?“
Hoseok frowned.
„What’s wrong with this flat?“
And he knew his mouth was quicker than his brain again.
332)
Jaebeoms eyes grew bigger.
Yoongi stepped into the room.
„Yeah. It was. I moved out quickly so I didn‘t have many choices, you know.“
Suddenly Jaebeom bit his bottom lip. His eyes watched Hoseok carefully and for now, Hoseok didn’t really know what was going on.
333)
„If was up to me, you would have stayed a bit longer.“, Jaebeom suddenly said and Yoongi stiffened.
Hoseok knew that Yoongi moved out because he didn’t want to stay any longer. Because he was scared to annoy Jaebeom.
Hoseok didn’t know if Jaebeom knew hat too though.
334)
At this moment Hoseok didn’t know what to do.
He felt like as if he was interrupting an intimate situation.
But at the same time, Hoseok shouldn’t forget his role.
He was the boyfriend. But Hoseok never has been too jealous before.
So he wasn’t sure what to do.
335)
Finally he licked his lips and joined Yoongi at his kitchen unit.
„Luckily he didn’t.“, Hoseok said, but didn’t look at Jaebeom.
He laid a secure hand at Yoongi’s shoulder and watched Yoongi’s hands which were dancing around the plate the pancakes were on.
336)
„Do we have jam for the pancakes?“, Hoseok said and Yoongi nodded slightly. He stepped back to open the cupboard in front of him and got out a couple jams.
Jaebeom already sat down on Yoongi’s desk chair.
337)
Hoseok pulled open another cupboard but only came face to face with cleaning utensils.
He heard Yoongi snort.
„Here are the plates.“, he opened a top drawer and presented Hoseok the plates.
Hoseok frowned.
338)
Maybe looking into random cupboards was no good idea if he wanted to look like as if he’d spent much time at his boyfriend’s flat.
„Ah. Of course.“, Hoseok mumbled and got three of them out.
„Are you still drunk?“, Yoongi asked teasingly and Hoseok groaned.
339)
Suddenly Yoongi leaned in and pressed a wet kiss at Hoseok’s cheek before he opened the lids of the jam.
Hoseok didn’t remember the last time someone kissed him on the cheek. Maybe in middle school.
It was something he didn’t expect from Yoongi.
Hoseok thought it was cute.
340)
Hoseok froze for a moment tho. He quite liked the gesture.
Once Yoongi placed a couple pancakes on the plates, Hoseok handed Jaebeom one before he settled with his own on Yoongi’s bed.
Yoongi also handed Jaebeom a couple jams.
341)
„I thought you didn’t like when people eat in your bed.“, Jaebeom said and eyed Hoseok.
Hoseok thought he screwed up so he looked at Yoongi with big eyes.
Yoongi seemed a bit twisted but then he sighed and turned back to his kitchen unit, preparing his own plate.
342)
„It’s okay when it’s Seokkie.“, he said and Hoseok’s chest flustered.
Yoongi just gave him a nickname, right?
Hoseok smiled brightly at Yoongi words. Almost proud.
Because Jaebeom looked bitter about it.
343)
Yoongi handed Hoseok the strawberry jam. Hoseok’s chest swelled. Yoongi really remembered this was the only jam he ate.
When he took the knife and started scratching jam on his pancakes, Yoongi settled on the floor.
At first Jaebeom was a bit tense.
344)
But then Hoseok started to talk and asks questions so he thawed.
About what kind of food Jaebeom liked, what his band did and what he did in his free times.
Hoseok was even able to make a couple of jokes.
345)
But Hoseok noticed that Jaebeom liked to talk about himself a bit too much.
Yes, he was friendly, but he never asked about Hoseok’s hobbies or likings.
Instead Yoongi told Jaebeom about it.
“Hoseok also likes music.”
“Hoseok dances.”
“Hoseok doesn’t like mushrooms too.”
346)
“Hoseok has a family dog.”
Hoseok felt a bit awkward.
He wasn’t used to this.
He also wasn’t used to Yoongi sitting so close to him.
The elder had placed his plate on the floor once he finished and then sat up to Hoseok.
347)
Yoongi started to touch his thighs, smiled and laughed a bit too often at his jokes and Hoseok needed to laugh because of this as well.
Jaebeom just seemed to laugh along which made the whole situation much more funny.
348)
“You are very funny.”, Jaebeom said at one point and stood up to put his plate into the sink.
Hoseok almost snorted but he pressed his lips together.
He felt Yoongi’s sweaty hands through the pants.
349)
“Maybe we can hang out from time to time? We are throwing a pool party soon. Maybe you could join. I'll text Yoongi about it.”
Hoseok agreed right away.
He loved pool parties.
But he’d discuss this with Yoongi later.
350)
For now he looked over to the blonde and tilted his head back.
“The more the merrier, right?”, he said towards Yoongi who then looked up to him. Though not directly at him but a bit above his eyes, and nodded.
He then stood up and wiped his wet hands on his pants.
351)
“Thank you for coming.”, he said, an invitation for Jaebeom to leave.
“No problem. I was happy to help.”, Jaebeom said and then walked towards the entrance right away.
He slipped into his shoes.
“It was nice meeting you again, Hoseok.”
352)
Hoseok followed them and then leaned against the wall until Jaebeom was almost out.
He bowed and then smiled one last time.
“We'll stay in contact.”, Jaebeom said towards Yoongi and only left when Yoongi nodded.
353)
They closed the door behind him and as soon as the door fell shut, Hoseok’s grin grew impossible wider.
They didn’t speak for now.
Just in case Jaebeom could listen to their conversation.
After many heartbeats, Hoseok snorted.
354)
“What’s so funny?”, Yoongi asked and frowned at Hoseok.
„A kiss on the cheek? Really?“, Hoseok finally said and Yoongi groaned loudly.
„Shut up.“, Yoongi yelled back and walked back in the kitchen, grabbing the rag.
355)
„Yoongi-Oppa, please kiss Seokkie's cheeks again.“, Hoseok said now in a teasing way while he danced after him.
Yoongi whined a little and crunched up his nose.
„Go shower. You stink!“, he said and tried to hit him with the wet rag.
356)
Hoseok quickly jumped away and moved towards Yoongi’s bath.
„Oppa, I’m going to die without your moist lips on my skin.“

Hoseok locked the door before Yoongi could follow him into the bathroom.
357)
358)
359)
For 2 hours, Hoseok just sat at Seokjin’s couch and watched the door.
He listened to the rhythm of the steps in the hallway outside but nothing sounded like
Seokjin’s. But then it was 2:47 pm and Hoseok heard this steps when he wrote with Yoongi.
360)
He placed the phone besides himself and squeezed his knees. He knew he’d look a bit smaller that way.
Maybe Seokjin wouldn’t be so mad.
So when the front door opened, Hoseok pressed his lips together and looked into Seokjin’s face the moment he stepped inside.
361)
His hyung closed the door and pulled off his shoes.
Seokjin shrugged off his suit and folded the jacket.
He then settled in the armchair opposite from Hoseok.
The jacket thrown over the backrest.
“I bought you chocolate.”, Hoseok then said and looked down.
362)
He knew Seokjin loved the ones with almonds.
Seokjin pushed back his hair and sighed.
“Hoseok, you can’t tell me you’ll come home and then not tell me when you stay somewhere else. Imagine something would happen to you. Your mother would kill me.”
363)
“I know.”, Hoseok pouted and started to wriggle his legs.
“It wasn’t my intention.”
Seokjin eyed him for a moment.
“What happened yesterday?”, Seokjin crossed his legs and sunk lower in his chair.
His eyes expectant.
364)
Hoseok was more than happy to tell him everything about the party, Jaebeom and Yoongi.
Seokjin had picked up two bottles of water and gave Hoseok one before he sat down with a smirk.
“Why are you smiling like this?”, Hoseok asked before he opened the bottle and drank.
365)
“Seems like Yoongi and you have a lot of fun.”, he said and wriggled his eyebrows.
Hoseok groaned and shook his head.
“Hyung, you need to stop. I’m helping Yoongi to get back his boyfriend.”
Seokjin raised his hands for a moment as if he was innocent.
366)
“For me, it seems like as if you are his boyfriend at the moment.”
“The fake one, yeah.”, Hoseok answered and started to play with the cap of the bottle.
Seokjin didn’t say anything but took another sip.
367)
“I mean If you say so.”, Seokjin stood up and took his jacket and carried it in his room.
“But you seem pretty whipped.”
Hoseok looked after him and bit his lip.
Of course Hoseok was whipped for Yoongi.
He was adorable, kind and funny.
368)
He could talk and listen to him for hours.
He just hoped Yoongi would keep in contact with him once they convinced Jaebeom to come back.
Although while he got to know Jaebeom and learned about his personality, Hoseok doubt he fit with Yoongi. But who was he to judge.
369)
He just imagined someone different as Yoongi’s love interest.
Still, Yoongi knew better.
So Hoseok shook his head. Seokjin was confusing him. He shouldn’t think about this.
He only knew Yoongi for a couple days and already had silly thoughts.
370)
“I like him. Yoongi’s cool.”, Hoseok answered once Seokjin walked into the kitchen.
Hoseok followed him and then walked up to him in order to hug him tight.
“I’ll try to think more of you. Let’s go out tomorrow, okay?”
371)
Seokjin chuckled.
“Okay. If your boyfriend won’t get jealous.”, Seokjin teased him again but Hoseok only cried out and pushed Seokjin away.
372)
373)
Hoseok was well fed. He was about to burst to be exactly.
Seokjin didn’t eat as much because he was on a diet.
Hoseok never thought Seokjin would need to go on a diet.
But they went on a walk along the Han River because Seokjin insist on it.
It was another hot day.
374)
Hoseok wondered if the weather might change in the next two weeks he’d be in Seoul.
Hoseok enjoyed the heat but apparently the people around him didn’t.
Even Seokjin was a bit more silent these days as if he needed to save his energy.
375)
Hoseok offered him several times that they should rest on a bench. But Seokjin wanted to go buy some water and then walk towards the spot they were supposed to meet up.
Apparently Jaebeom’s band would built their setup at the Yeouido Hangang Park.
376)
Yoongi would meet with them close to the park. Seokjin suggested the nearby subway station.
Hoseok thought it would be nice to be there a bit earlier. So now they stood there. An hours earlier, leaning against the railing.
377)
“That’s fucking stupid. What If he’s late?”, Seokjin said while he fanned himself with a flyer someone handed them on the way. Even when it was 5pm, the warmth was still hanging around them like thick coats.
“We gonna sit here for an hour?”
378)
Hoseok shrugged and leaned at the railing besides Seokjin.
The elder looked at him and took another sip from his bottle before he handed it over to Hoseok and then took it back again.
379)
“Or are you nervous? Excited to meet your boyfriend again?”
Hoseok thought about slapping the water bottle out of Seokjin’s hand but he knew what kind of fuss the other would make.
“Haha- very funny.”, Hoseok said bored and crossed his arms.
380)
Hoseok didn’t want to admit it. But he was indeed a bit nervous. He wondered if Seokjin and Yoongi would get along.
“Oh. You guys are early as well.”
Hoseok got startled when he heard a voice behind himself.
He almost slipped from the railing.
381)
When Yoongi grinned at him, he pressed his hand against his chest.
“Fuck you scared me.”
“Yeah. Thought that would work.”, he said and then looked at Seokjin.
He bowed to greet him.
“You must be Seokjin.”
Seokjin bowed back and smiled.
“Pleasure meeting you.”
382)
Yoongi chuckled and looked at Hoseok.
He braced himself on the railing in front of him.
The blonde wore a yellow shirt with a portrait of a cat in the front.
It looked grumpy and cute.
Yoongi’s white legs peeked through the holes in his jeans.
383)
At first Hoseok thought Yoongi would address something. But somehow he was just staring at him.
Seokjin looked over to Seokjin who looked a bit confused too.
“So. Why did you arrive earlier?”, Hoseok asked a bit unsure.
Yoongi blinked a couple times and then looked down.
384)
He started to climb over the railing a bit clumsily.
“The last times you were over earlier than planned. So I figured you’d be here early too.”
Hoseok hummed and saw Seokjin grinning stupidly.
So stupid, Hoseok was a bit annoyed by it.
385)
“So about this boyfriend thing.”, Seokjin started and closed his water bottle.
Yoongi took a glance at Hoseok before he tilted his head at Seokjin.
“Do I need to think of anything? I don’t want to blast your cover.”
Yoongi looked up to the sky and hummed.
386)
“I don’t think Jaebeom will talk to you that much.”
Seokjin looked at Hoseok with a smile.
“What a relieve.”
“You were the one who arranged the meetings, right?”, Yoongi asked and Seokjin nodded.
“I guess I need to thank you then.”
387)
“Well,” Seokjin waved him off, “It’s fate, I guess. Hoseok was bored anyways home alone.”
“Why do you stay in Seoul when you have no one to be with?”, Yoongi asked and looked at Hoseok with big eyes.
Hoseok snorted.
388)
He couldn’t tell Yoongi that staying alone in Seokjin’s flat was less boring than staying home in Gwangju.
“What do you mean. I want to see my boyfriend.”, he joked instead and Yoongi snorted.
“Very smooth.”
Yoongi slapped Hoseok’s chest. And Hoseok gulped.
389)
“Should we go buy some beer and settle at the stairs?”, Yoongi asked. “My treat.”
Seokjin raised his eyebrows and looked at Hoseok.
“So you also got full pension. Sweet.”
Yoongi laughed at Seokjin’s words and started walking along the street to the next grocery store.
390)
They found one quickly. Yoongi started to talk to Seokjin more open.
Seokjin told him about his work and how Hoseok and he got to know each other.
It was no long story.
391)
Actually they met each other when Seokjin was trying to hit on Hoseok’s older sister in a club in Seoul. She drove with him two years ago. Wanted to show Hoseok the big city. Sadly they needed to leave earlier back then but somehow Hoseok and Seokjin stuck with each other.
392)
And even when it was not much of a deal, somehow Seokjin managed to speak about it over 2 hours.
Nobody stopped Seokjin from talking even when they settled at the stairs in the park, Hoseok was mainly embarrassed and most importantly - Yoongi was laughing. A lot actually.
393)
He seemed to enjoy the stories honestly.
So maybe Hoseok being embarrassed wasn’t so bad in the end.
Hoseok placed his half empty beer can on the stairs. It was his third one and he slowly felt like as if he should stop drinking.
394)
“Are you dizzy already?”, Seokjin grinned and licked the wetness from his lips.
Hoseok shrugged and leaned back, groaning.
“Hoseok can’t hold his liquor well.”
“Yeah. Learnt that the hard way.”, Yoongi added and both laughed. Hoseok only smiled painfully at the memory.
395)
“I will drink it then.”, Yoongi said and picked up Hoseok’s can after he sat down his empty one.
He placed the can at his lips and tilted his head back, gulping the fluid down.
Hoseok watched the movement of Yoongi’s Adam’s apple.
It was somehow hypnotizing.
396)
A drop of beer spilled from Yoongi’s mouth, rolled down his chin and then fell down.
Hoseok licked his own lips.
Once Yoongi finished the can, he did just the same and sat down the can.
Hoseok just then noticed that his mouth was hanging open.
397)
He quickly closed it and cleared his throat.
“Your lips touched it.”, he noted. Something silly. He never cared about before with anyone.
Yoongi looked down to him. Obviously his brain was working for a moment.
398)
Then he opened his mouth, “I love you, Hoseokkie.”
If it wasn’t for Seokjin’s too loud snort, Yoongi might have noticed how Hoseok’s eyes grew bigger and how his cheeks turned pink. Because the blonde looked over to Seokjin.
399)
“Am I doing good?”, Yoongi asked and Seokjin laughed a bit louder.
“Perfect actually.”, he said and drank more from his beer.
“You can tease him a bit more. Hoseok will get bright red If you keep doing that.”
Yoongi looked back at Hoseok with a happy smile on his face.
400)
But Hoseok was a bit too uncomfortable. His heart beating a bit too fast and his hands a bit too sweaty.
So he stood up quickly, hiding his face with one hand.
“Gonna look for a toilet.”, he said and flitted away.
401)
He climbed the stairs quickly and searched for the next best toilet.
Inside, he splashed some water at his face and then took a pee just to be sure he won’t need to leave the others in a bit again.
When he noticed his face was back to normal, he walked back to them.
402)
Hoseok took many deep breaths on his way.
He was a bit surprised by his own reaction.
But somehow the moment had pushed all of Hoseok’s buttons.
Once he was close enough again to make them out in between all of these people, he saw a boy standing in front of them.
403)
He noticed Jaebeom’s figure right away.
“Hey. Are you already here to set up?”, Hoseok asked once he stepped on their level.
Jaebeom looked up right away and stepped back one stair.
“Yeah. I was surprised when I saw Yoongi and I never thought he’d bring more people.”
404)
Hoseok smiled a thin smile and settled besides Yoongi. This time a bit closer.
“We are excited to see you perform.”, Seokjin said in a kind tune.
He sounded super sweet and Jaebeom smiled at him widely.
“Thank you. I will give it my best!"
405)
He then proceeded to step back and wave at Yoongi.
“Am I going to talk to you later?”
Yoongi nodded.
“I’ll be here.”
Jaebeom seemed relieved and turned back to run back to is band members.
406)
“You are not very loyal.”, Hoseok said right into Yoongi’s ear who then leaned away a bit and looked at Hoseok with a grin.
“I changed my mind. I want Seokjin hyung to be my boyfriend.”
Hoseok looked past Yoongi at his friend who then raised his eyebrows innocent.
407)
"Just look at me.”
Hoseok’s dry expression made both of them laugh.
408)
Jaebeom’s band was amazing. Hoseok was really interested in the songs. They covered a couple famous kpop songs in order to gain a bit of attention before they played their own ones.
They placed a box in front of them. Inside a couple of CDs they tried to sell.
409)
Only a couple people bought them though.
Hoseok even checked his wallet if he had some money left but it was barely enough for the ride home and Hoseok needed to look after his money. He planned to buy dinner for Seokjin a couple times and maybe treat Yoongi soon.
410)
So in the end, he decided against buying one. He felt a bit sour about it. He could imagine it was frustrating for the band too.
Yoongi took pictures and videos of their performance and clapped every time they finished a song.
Seokjin was more of a silent listener.
411)
But it was obvious he enjoyed the music.
Once the boys played their last song, Yoongi rose to his feet and checked his pockets for his wallet.
"What are you doing?", Hoseok asked and looked up. Did Yoongi want to leave?
412)
"Being a good boyfriend.", Yoongi answered and then walked his way down the stairs.
He walked up to the box and placed money inside before he grabbed a CD.
He looked up at the band, mainly at Jaebeom for sure, Hoseok couldn’t see their faces properly though.
413)
Then Yoongi came back and sat down besides Hoseok again.
He handed him the CD.
Hoseok was a bit confused but took it anyways.
"You were checking your wallet. It's okay. It's only a couple bucks."
Hoseok pushed out his bottom lip.
"Are you calling me poor?"
414)
Yoongi smiled widely and cheeky.
"He's looking over. You might as well kiss.", Seokjin mumbled.
Hoseok immediately felt something fluster in his chest.
Yoongi’s eyes flew towards the band for a second but then he snorted.
415)
From Yoongi’s reaction, Hoseok realized Seokjin had lied.
He looked past the blonde and made sure they had eye contact before he frowned at Seokjin.
The eldest took the last sip of his drink and just shrugged with a tiny grin.
416)
"They are good. Hard working and all. They deserve."
Yoongi sounded so soft when he talked about them. Although it was mostly about Jaebeom, Hoseok figured.
"Thank you for the CD.", Hoseok said and bumped Yoongi’s shoulder.
The boy only shrugged and smiled softly.
417)
"No need to."
The band finished their last song and the crowd clapped. A couple others whistled.
They bowed deeply before they started to gather and talked briefly and then started to clean the place up as well as packing up their equipment.
418)
Security service walked up to them as well and left again after they talked.
Hoseok watched everything with curious eyes and was a bit surprised when Jaebeom started to walk over to them.
“Hey, can I sit here for a moment?”, he asked once he walked up to their spot.
419)
Hoseok nodded dumbly while Yoongi cleaned the stairs from their beer cans and mumbled, “Sure.”
When the boy sat down in front of them, he started talking about how happy he was to see that so many people came to see them.
420)
Hoseok was pretty sure not everyone was here for a purpose. But he didn’t say that out loud.
Jaebeom asked Hoseok and Seokjin if they liked the performance, if they’d come see them again.
They talked for a while but most importantly praised Jaebeom and his band.
421)
Jaebeom’s fellow band members already packed up everything, when their bassist walked up to them.
„Hey, buddy. Can we leave?“, he asked, his voice especially deep.
He eyed them one by one while Jaebeom stood up and cleaned off his jeans.
422)
Yoongi and he nodded at each other before the males eyes wandered to Hoseok.
„You are his new boyfriend?“
Hoseok frowned for a moment.
It sounded a bit like as if Yoongi changed his partner every other week.
423)
„Yeah, he’s my boyfriend.“, Yoongi answered instead of Hoseok who was a bit stunned.
„What about it?“
Suddenly all eyes were on Yoongi, who then grabbed the inside of Hoseok’s thigh.
424)
Usually Hoseok didn’t like to be touched there but something about Yoongi warm hands made it comfortable.
Hoseok looked at Yoongi with big eyes while the elder only looked up to the other band member who then shrugged and looked Hoseok up and down again.
425)
„Can’t see any reason to be with him.“, the male said and Jaebeom failed hiding his smile.
Yoongi huffed and stood up as if he was ready to fight.
„Can’t remember I asked for your opinion.“
Yoongi sounded harsh and Hoseok grabbed Yoongi dangling hand right away.
426)
He tried to pull Yoongi down again because it was no use. Hoseok didn't like fights. No matter what kind of.
Bu Yoongi only shook off Hoseok’s hand.
For a moment both boys looked at each other's eyes. The tension already to much to bear.
427)
But then Jaebeom grabbed the guys shoulder and squeezed it. “Calm down. Let’s go.”
He basically pushed him off and then followed him.
Yoongi still didn’t move while he watched them walk down the stairs.
Jaebeom looked back at him a couple times.
428)
But then Yoongi sat down again.
“Asshole. I never liked him anyways.”
He looked bitter and frowned.
Hoseok hasn’t seen such deep forehead wrinkles on Yoongi before. “It’s no big deal. Really.”, Hoseok said and fumbled with his own hands.
"He's not wrong."
429)
Suddenly Yoongi looked at Hoseok with an angry gaze.
“He is! You are great, what the fuck?”, Yoongi sounded really upset.
“Have you looked in the mirror?”
Hoseok casted his gaze downwards and shrugged.
430)
It’s been a while since his last relationship and sometimes he wondered if he was just not good enough.
He knew he should think positive but he was over comments like this from dumbasses. He just accepted them because it was easier than to convince himself otherwise.
431)
“I love your smile.”, Yoongi suddenly said and Hoseok looked up at him.
“It looks like a heart and I always feel warm when I look at you.”
Yoongi stroke over his own lips in a heart motion.
Hoseok followed the motion and thought it was endearing.
432)
“Right, hyung?”, Yoongi asked and looked over to Seokjin who also looked a bit concerned.
“Sure. And Hoseok, you are one of the loveliest people out there. If someone deserves to be loved, then it’s you.”
Seokjin’s cheesy words made Hoseok giggle.
433)
“You are great! Inside and outside.”, Yoongi added and this time patted Hoseok’s thighs.
“Don’t let dumb comments change how you feel about yourself. Your future partner will be blessed.”
434)
Yoongi sounded so confident, Hoseok wished he could learn a bit from him these next weeks and most importantly, he felt flattered.
He looked down again and a soft smile appeared on his lips. “Thank you.”, he mumbled and then hid his face a bit. “Ah. That’s embarrassing.”
435)
Seokjin chuckled and Yoongi pulled away his hand.
“No need to. Your face is even more beautiful when you blush.”
Hoseok groaned at this line and frowned while he pushed Yoongi away.
“Stop the sappy shit.”
436)
“Truly, his heart picks up speed.”, Seokjin said and started to stand up.
Yoongi smiled up at Seokjin.
“I don’t want to interrupt, but I’d like to go home now. I need to leave early for work tomorrow.”
437)
Hoseok took that as a sign to leave as well so he stood up as well and collected his things.
“Oh. You can stay with your lucky boyfriend if you want to.”, Seokjin said before he picked up as many cans as he could hold.
Hoseo looked at Yoongi who was still smiling.
438)
“I wouldn’t mind.”, Yoongi said and shrugged.
Hoseok then looked back at Seokjin and sighed.
“I'm sorry.”, he said and looked back at Yoongi. “I think I owe hyung some of my time.”
Seokjin smiled at him warmly and Yoongi nodded.
“I agree. Enjoy your evening!”
439)
“Thank you.”, Seokjin said. “You too and really, it was my pleasure to meet you.”
“Hopefully not the last time.”, Yoongi said, handing Hoseok the last bear can. They smiled at each other and Yoongi thanked them for taking care of the trash.
440)
Hoseok also told Yoongi goodbye, ending their conversation with, “I will text you.”, before he followed Seokjin.
Once they reached the top of the stairs, he looked back.
Yoongi was still witting in the same spot, but was looking after them and waved when Hoseok spotted him.
441)
Something fluttered in Hoseok's chest when he waved back.
That night, Hoseok was allowed to cuddle up to Seokjin in his big bed.
442)
443)
444)
Having Yoongi over was new.
When Hoseok met Yoongi the first time he thought they’d never meet again. That it was a one time thing. But now Yoongi was standing in Seokjin’s kitchen, discussing about stew bases and the best vegetables to add.
445)
He even had a small apron around his hips.
Hoseok sat aside like always. Not because he didn’t like cook, but because he liked watching the scene in front of him.
Yoongi seemed hella comfortable in such a big kitchen.
He probably didn’t cook very often in his small home.
446)
It made Hoseok wonder if Yoongi cooked at Jaebeom’s all the time.
Hoseok cut up the vegetables and listened to his hyung’s bickering.
Just then Hoseok noticed that Yoongi whined a lot.
Maybe because Seokjin was older than him.
Seokjin would leave for work after dinner.
447)
“I can drop you off on my way.”, Seokjin offered while he took a second portion of the crab stew.
Yoongi was already full and rubbed his belly while he leaned back in the chair besides Hoseok.
“You don’t need to. It’s a detour. I can take the train.”
448)
Seokjin shrugged and placed his bowl at the table again.
“I don’t mind.”, he said and stirred the stew in his bowl.
“Except you two want to spend some more time alone here.”
Seokjin sounded so seductive, Hoseok choked on his broth.
449)
Yoongi only laid his head in his neck and chuckled.
“I told you to stop! It’s annoying.”, Hoseok yelled once he found his words again.
But Seokjin only giggled.
“I’m just saying.”
“I’d like to drive with you.”, Yoongi said and stood up to clean up his dishes.
450)
“I’ll see Hoseok tomorrow again in all his glory.”
Yoongi didn’t need to add this but it made Hoseok smile down to his bowl.
These two were overdoing it with the ‘pretty agenda’ every since but Hoseok felt kind of happy about it too.
451)
“What are your plans tomorrow?”, Seokjin asked and cracked up a crab leg to suck on it.
“Pool party.”, Hoseok said pouring himself some water.
“Jaebeom is preparing one at his parents house. They are on vacation at the moment.”
452)
“So you want back the rich boy?”, Seokjin said and looked at Hoseok with raised brows. “Your chances get lower everyday.”Hoseok just frowned at Seokjin. He didn’t know why he was teasing him all the time when Hoseok had made clear that Yoongi and he were nothing but friends.
453)
“Hoseok has the thighs and nose bridge Jaebeom will never have.”, Yoongi said and Hoseok didn’t know if it was a joke or if he was serious.
Because Yoongi smile at Hoseok was sincere when he sat down besides him.
454)
Hoseok crunched up his nose for a moment, as if someone was tickling him at the tip.
“Ugh- A men who enjoys quality.”, Seokjin said before he swirled the water in his glass like wine and sipped on it.
Yoongi also raised his glass and drank.
455)
“Do I need to know anything about tomorrow?”, Hoseok asked in order to change the topic.
“mh- Not really. Bring swimming shorts if you want to.”
“Are you going to swim?”, Hoseok placed his spoon on the table.
Yoongi looked at him a bit disgusted.
456)
“If you think I will go anywhere near the water you are wrong.”
Hoseok giggled and shrugged.
“It’s a pool party in the end.”
“I‘m there for the men, not the pool.”
Seokjin looked back and forth between those two and then also placed down his cutlery.
457)
He licked his lips with a smack.
“Will you stay away?”, he asked while he cleaned off his hands.
Hoseok hummed.
“Nah. Don’t think so. We will arrive early, right?”, he asked while he looked over to Yoongi who nodded, “And I don’t plan on drinking this time.”
458)
“I think when we get there around 3pm we are good and we can leave again after a couple hours. Like, I don’t want to seem too desperate.”
Seokjin looked at Yoongi with his lips pressed together as if he needed to suppress a laugh.
Yoongi stared straight back at him.
459)
“Whatever you want to say, keep it to yourself.”
Seokjin raised his hands and then stood up.
“Wanna see my Eomuk?”
“Hoseok told me sugargliders bite?”
Seokjin gasped and looked at Hoseok who then stood up too and collected the dishes.
460)
“Go visit Eomuk.”, Hoseok said and waved Yoongi out of the kitchen.

Yoongi ended up getting bitten twice.
461)
462)
463)
Hoseok picked up Yoongi.
On their way they bought ice cream because Yoongi was whining about wanting some.
Hoseok was happy to pay for it.
The bag at Hoseok’s back, was a bit heavier then planned.
Therefore it pressed a bit firmer against his body and heated him up.
464)
Yoongi told him he wouldn’t go swimming, but Hoseok packed up swimming trunks for him too anyways.
Maybe the elder would change his mind later.
When they arrived they had completely finished their ice cream and Hoseok was a bit surprised to see so little people.
465)
But Jaebeom greeted them immediately.
“Will more people come later?”, Hoseok asked once he took the drink Jaebeom was handing them. Hoseok smelled on it and recognized the ananas inside. He nibbled on it and licked his lips.
466)
“I didn’t invite many people. But some more will join in the evening.”
“We won’t stay that long.”, Yoongi said and then sniffed at the drink.
“There’s no strawberry inside.”, Hoseok said and smiled when Yoongi looked up to him.
“A whole ananas tho.”
467)
Yoongi snorted and drank more of the mocktail.
“Make yourself comfortable. We can’t turn up the music much until later.”, Jaebeom said before someone tapped him on the shoulder and he turned around.
“You want to go outside?”, Hoseok asked Yoongi who looked around a bit.
468)
“I don’t know. The air conditioner is pretty good. It’s hot outside.”
Hoseok sighed and then laid his arm around Yoongi’s shoulder, guiding him into what seemed like the living room. A couple of people were sitting on the couch, some others spread through the bright room.
469)
For a moment Hoseok wondered how much money Jaebeom’s parents really had.
Hoseok took a glimpse outside. Some people were swimming. One guy was sunbathing on a giant inflatable flamingo.
But there were also people standing around and sitting in deckchairs.
470)
Hoseok took another sip of the drink when Yoongi suddenly made a sound.
The blonde spotted someone outside and placed his drink on a table nearby.
Hoseok noticed Yoongi was pretty picky when it came to drinks, so he would probably just abandon it there.
471)
“Changed my mind. Let’s go outside.”, Yoongi said and pushed open the slide door.
Hoseok grinned when Yoongi slipped from his embrace and made his way to the opposite end of the pool where he hugged a taller male who was laying in one of the deckchairs.
472)
Hoseok also stepped outside and followed Yoongi after he closed the door behind himself.
He took a deep breath of the fresh air.
“I thought you were still in New York and would come back today.”, Yoongi said once he let go and kneeled down besides the stranger.
473)
The boy laughed, two deep dimples appearing on his cheeks.
“Well, I came back last night and I still can’t sleep. So Jaebeom invited my jetlagged ass over.”
Yoongi smiled brightly and looked up at Hoseok then.
“That’s Hoseok. My-..”, Yoongi stopped and seemed a bit unsure.
474)
Hoseok then realized the boy in front of him must be a really good friend of Yoongi.
So he also squatted down so nobody could observe their conversation easily.
“I’m being Yoongi’s boyfriend for these next weeks.”
475)
The boy looked a bit dumbfounded for a moment before he turned to Yoongi.
“You won’t keep him?”, he asked and Yoongi slapped his belly.
Hoseok laughed while the other tried to shield himself from Yoongi’s harmless slaps.
476)
Once Yoongi calmed down again, he looked away from Hoseok, almost as if he was embarrassed.
“I’m Namjoon. Nice meeting you.”, he said and nodded towards Hoseok who smiled back at him.
477)
“Sorry. I feel like dying so I don’t want to move too much.”, Namjoon excused himself but Hoseok only waved him off.
He never had a jetlag before but if it was anything like a hangover Hoseok was more than understanding.
478)
“So. Do you want to tell me how this happened?”, Namjoon gestured in between Yoongi and Hoseok.
Yoongi huffed a smile and shrugged.
“Long story.”, he said and seemed a bit uncomfortable.
Then Hoseok understood that maybe he should leave them alone for a moment.
479)
"Do you know where I can change clothes?”, Hoseok asked and stood up.
Namjoon waved inside.
“The dude on the flamingo changed in the bathroom down here. I don’t think Jaebeom really cares.”
480)
Hoseok nodded and smiled at Yoongi before he placed his glass on the ground and walked inside.
Inside he asked a couple more people where he could find the bathroom. The ‘guest bathroom’ which was already ridiculously big with a bathtub and a shower as well as a big sink.
481)
Hoseok didn’t waste much time. He used the toilet real quick before he slipped into his trunk.
He stuffed his clothes into the bag and then left the bathroom again.
Some people were looking him up and down, but Hoseok only grinned smug.
Of course they did.
482)
Before Hoseok would hopp into the water, he checked his phone again and wrote Seokjin that they safely arrived at the pool party and that he’d take a swim now.
Seokjin sent back a middle finger.
Hoseok giggled when he arrived at Namjoon’s deckchair again.
483)
“Can I leave my bag here?”, he asked and Namjoon nodded.
He sat up a bit clumsily and reached out in order to put the bag under his chair, away from the sun.
“Thanks.”, Hoseok mumbled before he turned to walk towards the water
484)
“You sure you don’t want to ask him to stay with you?”
Hoseok catched what Namjoon said but judging by the skin on skin slap and the whine Namjoon made, Yoongi disapproved a lot with this statement.
Hoseok decided not to pay it any attention.
Yoongi must be annoyed by now.
485)
And Hoseok couldn’t deny that he was a bit annoyed too. Wasn’t it obvious that Yoongi didn’t want him?
Surprised by the cold water, Hoseok shrieked. Some people in the pool turned and laughed.
“Are you okay?”, they asked and Hoseok took the chance to swim over.
486)
He talked to them for a while and slowly he understood that everyone here must be from the same university.
Yoongi must know a couple of them as well then.
After a while he swam over to the guy on the flamingo and talked to him.
487)
After Hoseok realized that the boy had burned himself he laughed his ass off and was allowed to change with him.
Hoseok tried to climb the flamingo several times but only when a couple held on for him, he was able to seat himself inside of the pink monster.
488)
The other guy stayed close though and they talked a bit more.
Hoseok still didn’t want to stay too long up here. He didn’t want to get sunburned as well.
While the flamingo turned round and round, he saw that Namjoon and Yoongi had walked over to the edge of the pool.
489)
Yoongi wore shorts but he pulled them up so the fabric around his thighs wouldn’t get wet.
At this moment Jaebeom walked outside with two towels and handed them to Namjoon and Yoongi who then placed them on the ground before they sat down and dangled their legs inside.
490)
Yoongi thanked him with the sweetest smile and while Namjoon was busy pulling Hoseok’s bag on his back, something bubbled up in his chest.
He didn’t like how Yoongi looked up to Jaebeom who took that as in invitation to settle besides them.

Hoseok knew this was the plan.
491)
This was what they wanted. What Yoongi has wanted from the start. That Jaebeom would want to talk and to be with Yoongi again.
Hoseok knew this has been their goal. And still was.
492)
But still, when Namjoon looked over to him and they locked eyes, Hoseok tensed up. And when Namjoon nodded over to Jaebeom and Yoongi, he slipped down from the flamingo right away.
He couldn’t really stop himself.
493)
Suddenly he cared little about the guy he was talking mere seconds ago and was quick at the edge of the pool.
Once he reached them, Hoseok grabbed the edges of the pool on each side of Yoongi’s thighs and lifted himself out of the water.
494)
Yoongi gasped when all the water from Hoseok’s body dripped over his legs and lower body, apart from the torrent Hoseok pulled into Yoongi’s lap when he pushed himself out.
“Hoseok!”, Yoongi said but didn’t really move an inch.
He was just shocked to see his clothes soaked.
495)
Hoseok leaned in with a big grin on his face and chuckled into Yoongi’s ear.
“Come play with me.”, he said before he pulled back again and dropped into the water.
He knew his next step was bold. He didn’t know if Yoongi approved of this.
496)
He’d most likely make a fool out of himself if he didn’t. But he’d take it.
Hoseok leaned forward and laid his arms around Yoongi’s hips, even pushed one hand under his thigh and the other under his butt before he pulled Yoongi inside of the water.
497)
The yell Yoongi let out was louder than anything Hoseok heard from him until now.
Hoseok was a bit startled by his shaky cries.
Immediately Yoongi grabbed Hoseok by his shoulder and the other grabbed Hoseok’s hair way too strong.
498)
Hoseok almost hissed by Yoongi’s strength once he digged his fingers deeper into Hoseok’s shoulder.
Yoongi’s belly was pressed against Hoseok’s face while he struggled to keep the blonde up.
499)
“Calm down.”, Hoseok said and somehow still found enough strength to lower Yoongi slowly.
Once Yoongi was at the height of Hoseok’s hips, Hoseok circled one arm around his upper body. The other one stayed secured on Yoongi's thigh.
500)
The elder twined his legs around Hoseok’s hips before he laid his arms around his shoulders, pressing himself impossible closer. “Bring me back, Hoseok.”, he demanded but Hoseok only laughed into Yoongi’s shoulder.
“It’s okay.”, he said and squeezed Yoongi’s body.
501)
“I can’t swim.”, Yoongi said, lowering his voice a bit and hiding his face in Hoseok’s neck now. People behind Hoseok were staring at him properly.
Hoseok giggles became more intense.
“Yoongi, you can stand here.”
502)
For a moment Yoongi didn’t move. He probably knew that. He must have been in the pool before, right? Suddenly an embarrassed groan left Yoongi’s throat and Hoseok circled Yoongi’s whole body with his arms, laughing wholehearted.
503)
“Don’t worry, I won’t let go. Don’t want my cute boyfriend to drown.”, Hoseok said, looking over to Namjoon who had a cheeky smile on his lips.
Jaebeom on the contrary looked at Yoongi and Hoseok with a frown.
He seemed to think about something.
504)
Hoseok was satisfied with himself.
Yoongi groaned and wriggled a bit in Hoseok’s grip. He didn’t loosen his legs tho.
“Great. I’m absolutely soaked.”, Yoongi said and crunched up his nose.
“Stop complaining and enjoy the cool water for a bit.”
505)
Yoongi pushed out his bottom lip and looked past Hoseok as if he wasn’t able to look into his eyes.
But Hoseok was looking at Yoongi’s feline eyes and cute button nose, small drops of water sparkling on his cheeks. Just then Hoseok noticed two small moles on Yoongi’s face.
506)
“You two never went swimming, right?”
When Namjoon spoke, Hoseok looked over to Jaebeom and him, wondering what Jaebeom would answer.
The boy looked a bit uneasy.
“Yeah. Yoongi never trusted me with that.”
507)
Hoseok started to walk through the water with Yoongi who seemed to relax in his grip more and more.
“Of course. Two twinks in a big pool, clinging to each other like koalas. Both of you would drown.”
Suddenly Yoongi pulled on Hoseok’s hair which made him groan.
508)
“Did you just call us twinks?”, he asked and pouted at Hoseok who just grinned at if he made the biggest achievement.
“I love my twink tho.”
Yoongi twitched in Hoseok’s arms and looked at him partly embarrassed but also fed up.
509)
When Hoseok puckered his lips, Yoong gasped and hid his face behind his hands.
“I chang my mind. I hate you.”, Yoongi mumbled behind his hands.
Hoseok leaned up and kissed Yoongi’s hands which were covering his face before Yoongi then hugged Hoseok again, hiding his face.
510)
Hoseok mumbled a calm, “Adorable.”, before he walked around with Yoongi a bit more.
After a while, Jaebeom excused himself and Hoseok brought Yoongi back to the edge of the pool. He helped Yoongi out who then sat down on the edge, groaning at his wet clothes.
511)
“What am I gonna do. That’s never going to dry by 6.”, Yoongi whined and pulled his wet shirt from his chest.
“I packed some spare clothes in case you wanted to jump in as well.”
“With clothes?”
512)
“You never know at a pool party.”, Hoseok said and winked before he swam in between Yoongi’s legs and hugged his hips again and settled his head against Yoongi’s belly.
Hoseok grinned satisfied.
This was perfect. Jaebeom was jealous and he was able to tease Yoongi a little.
513)
The perfect afternoon in Hoseok’s opinion.
“You two are good at this.”, Namjoon said lowly and pulled the cap on his head a bit lower.
“What do you mean?”, Yoongi asked and looked over to his friend.
“This acting like boyfriends thing.”
514)
Yoongi and Hoseok didn’t move for a moment.
Were they?
“Yeah. Hoseok is good in this.”, Yoongi mumbled. Hoseok only glanced up at Namjoon who then looked back at him for a split second.
Hoseok didn’t have to say anything at this point.
515)
Instead he leaned back again and reached out for Yoongi.
“C’mon. Lets swim a couple rounds. I can teach you.”
“You think I will learn swimming in front of so many people?”
Hoseok shrugged at Yoongi and then bit his bottom lip.
516)
“It’s pretty cool up on the flamingo.”
Yoongi scoffed.

In the end he gave Yoongi a piggyback ride through the water in order to reach the flamingo.
517)
518)
Yoongi was over more often now.
Sometimes they just spent time together inside, playing old board games when it was cloudy outside and sometimes they were outside all day, eating icecream and walking around town when it was sunny.
At this point, Hoseok started to love Seoul.
519)
Sometimes traffic and people were too much but somehow Yoongi was always able to find a calm place for them to rest.
Sometimes, when Hoseok came back from grocery shopping in the morning, Yoongi was already sitting on the couch, drinking a cup of coffee with Seokjin.
520)
But Hoseok also lingered around in Yoongi’s flat. Especially when Seokjin was in the city with Hoseok and needed to leave for work, Hoseok went to Yoongi instead.
They laid on Yoongi’s bed for hours, talked about their favorite movies and series and showed each other memes.
521)
Nothing Hoseok wouldn‘t do with his other friends as well. But somehow it was different with Yoongi.
Hoseok liked the weight of Yoongi’s hands on his shoulder or his laughed which sounded a bit silly sometimes, other than his usual laugh when they were with people.
522)
Yoongi snapped a couple pictures of them, posted them on instagram or snapchat. And people were sweet about it. Told Yoongi that they looked good together, that everyone was hoping for a long lasting relationship. And Hoseok felt excited about it.
523)
Sometimes he wanted to know if more people wrote Yoongi about them but he was too embarrassed to actually ask about it.
He didn’t want to be too pushy. Especially when Yoongi was constantly checking if Jaebeom saw, liked or commented the posts he made.
524)
And something about this felt different.
Hoseok noticed before.
When Yoongi was over until late to talk to him or when they called each other for hours.
When Yoongi laughed and smiled at Hoseok.
525)
When his cheeks turned red whenever Hoseok was flirting with him, the bright color on his cheeks even stronger in contrast to his light hair.
And when Yoongi looked at Hoseok with this sparkle in his eyes, then Hoseok noticed he liked Yoongi.
526)
Hoseok wasn’t the type to fall for someone head over heels. But he knew this lingering feeling, the bubbles in his throat and tingles in his body.
He really started to like Yoongi.
There was basically nothing he didn’t like about Yoongi.
527)
Yes, sometimes he was a bit grumpy and wanted to be alone, but Hoseok was okay with that.
He understood that Yoongi needed some more space than he did usually.
But in the end nothing really changed when they saw each other again.
528)
Often Hoseok made sure if Yoongi was feeling better and when the boy nodded, Hoseok was relieved.
Still, he knew his feelings were more than inappropriate considering the reason why he was with Yoongi in the first place.

Currently both were laying in Yoongi’s bed.
529)
Hoseok decided to prop his back against the wall, the contact softened by Yoongi’s pillow.
His legs were dangling from Yoongi’s bed while he texted his friends.
530)
He’d ride the train home next weekend and his friends were already planning to go out, curious about Hoseok’s stay in Seoul.
Yoongi settled his head on Hoseok’s tummy while he scrolled through some webtoon.
After a while he locked his phone and turned his face up to Hoseok.
531)
„When exactly will you leave?“, he mumbled.
„Friday evening.“, Hoseok answered and looked at Yoongi.
„Why? Do you want to get rid of me?“
Yoongi only snorted before he closed his eyes.
„I’m think about what to do next week. I want you to remember your stay.“
532)
Hoseok now looked at his group chat in which many messages arrived.
„Yoongi, you don’t need to plan anything. I will remember anyways.“
Yoongi didn’t move nor make a sound.
Hoseok placed his phone on the mattress and stroke with his fingers through Yoongi’s blonde strands.
533)
„And I won’t forget you for sure. Besides I can come back whenever. The trip isn’t that long and not that expensive.“
Yoongi hummed and Hoseok felt how Yoongi’s head got even heavier on his belly.
He was dozing off.
Hoseok smiled a bit to himself.
534)
He knew Yoongi slept a lot usually. Waking up early was a pain in the ass for him but Hoseok always rose with the sun and these days the elder tried to adjust to his sleeping schedule.
Hoseok told him several times that he didn’t need to do that.
535)
But he always shrugged it off and kept whining about how tired he was.
He ever so often slept in on Seokjin’s couch, especially during a movie.
To the point where he didn’t want to move so Hoseok carried him into his own room while he was allowed to sleep in Seokjin’s bed.
536)
He knew it didn’t matter where he slept but he thought it would be weird for Yoongi to wake up besides him after he slept in alone on the couch.
So he always moved over to Seokjin.
But the urge to slip under the cover with Yoongi was huge. Almost like a pull in his guts.
537)
Luckily Hoseok kept a clear mind until now.
This was the first time Yoongi slept in on top of him.
He kept stroking his fingers through the elders hair, some behind the ear, some away from his forehead.
538)
After a while Yoongi pushed his hand in between his legs and curled up a little, his cheek still pressed into the fabric of Hoseok’s shirt.
Hoseok thought it was cute how Yoongi made himself all small and tried to use as little space as possible.
539)
But even cuter was how Yoongi’s cheek was squished against Hoseok’s body.
So Hoseok quickly unlocked his phone and snapped a picture.
Some of Yoongi’s friends and followers started following him too on instagram and even Jaebeom found his way to Hoseok’s profile.
540)
So maybe he should finally post something too. All this time only Yoongi had posted something.
The picture was quickly uploaded, no filter because Yoongi didn’t need one. Just two small hearts on top of his nose and the caption 'My always sleeping beauty‘.
541)
Hoseok stared at his phone when he posted it. Yoongi’s phone lit up for a moment, probably because of the mention. And then people started liking the picture.
Hoseok quickly locked his phone again and kept patting Yoongi’s head.
542)
He was playing with the blond locks and wondered when Yoongi would change colors again.
He liked all the pictures Yoongi had with black hair. It really suited him best.
But Yoongi could pull off every color, really.
543)
Hoseok sat there an eternity. They thought about seeing a movie today. But when the clock neared 4 pm, Hoseok decided to let Yoongi sleep.
Hoseok dared to brush over Yoongi’s cheeks for a brief moment and he noticed that Yoongi’s body started to cool down.
544)
They left the window far open once they entered the flat and the warm breeze didn’t help to keep Yoongi warm.
No matter how hot Hoseok felt in this moment, Yoongi was loosing his warmth.
545)
So while his right hand kept playing with the haircrown, Hoseok laid his warm hand in Yoongi’s neck, just under his ear and rubbed over Yoongi’s cheek, along the jaw and softly over the ear lobe.
556)
Yoongi seemed to like it because his lips parted and cute little sighs escaped his mouth.
Hoseok smiled at Yoongi’s squished face.
Suddenly a lot metal pang resounded from outside and cats were screaming.
Hoseok looked up while Yoongi stirred in his lap.
557)
Just when Yoongi craned his neck, Hoseok pulled his hands away and sat up, his back a bit stiff from sitting in the same position for too long.
“What was that?”, Yoongi asked with a raspy voice and rubbing his eyes as if he had the deepest slumber.
558)
“I think some cats fought outside.”, Hoseok stretched a bit.
Yoongi hummed and slowly lifted himself up to sit back.
"Yeah, they so that often.", Yoongi mumbled and then yawned.
“Sorry. Didn’t want to sleep in.”, Yoongi grabbed his phone and looked at the clock.
559)
Then he gasped.
“Ah. Hoseok, we missed the movie.”
“Don’t worry.”, Hoseok laughed. “The weather is too good for cinema anyways. You in for a walk?”
Yoongi looked really sorry but then nodded.
560)
On their way, their hands brushed ever so often. But then Yoongi went inside a grocery store and bought them something to drink.
From then on their hands were busy holding their cans of lemonade while they walked through the streets.
The sun setting with a beautiful orange.
561)
562)
Hoseok thought about Yoongi’s last message a lot afterwards.
Even on his way to the restaurant.
Maybe he’d go on a date right now. Or maybe Yoongi was just joking.
Yoongi had called him right away and they decided to meet at 2pm.
563)
Late lunch in Hoseok’s opinion but it was often the hottest around this time so he was glad to sit inside a restaurant with an AC then.
Seokjin was at work again. Hoseok never realized how much his friend actually worked. But he seemed happy.
564)
So at least he didn’t need to worry too much about his hyung.
Yoongi had texted Hoseok that he was inside already.
It wasn’t some fancy restaurant but Hoseok learned these past weeks that Yoongi really had the best ideas when it came to hidden locations.
566)
Probably because he lead a lot of people through the city and in such small restaurants.
When he entered, many people were occupying tables already.
The restaurant was pretty dark but lamps over the tables with orange light made the atmosphere really cozy.
567)
Hoseok took a deep breath of the cool air inside the building.
He looked around and found many tables with food on them.
But Hoseok didn’t need to search long for the blonde mop of hair.
He quickly waved off the waiter who was approaching him and walked over to Yoongi.
568)
The boy was typing on his phone and looked up once Hoseok settled in the chair in front of him.
„Sorry. I missed the first subway and I needed to wait for the next one.“
Yoongi carried a small bag with him again and packed his phone away once Hoseok got comfortable.
569)
„It’s only a couple minutes.“, Yoongi said and smiled softly.
„You didn’t let me wait forever.“
The elder wriggled on his seat and a bit closer to the table.
„It’s been a while since I last had Adong Jjimdak.“
570)
„When was the last time?“, Hoseok asked and leaned back when a waitress brought something to drink to their table. Yoongi thanked her.
„I already ordered drinks.“, he said once the waitress left. „Sprite is alright?“
Hoseok beamed. „Sprite is perfect. Thank you.“
571)
He grabbed the glass and took a sip, his throat a bit dry.
„Well. I went with Jaebeom last time but he hates it.“
Yoongi smiled a bit dryly but then shook his head.
„Anyways. Why didn’t Seokjin eat it with you?“
572)
„He told me his colleagues eat it all the time. Besides fried chicken when they drink. So I figured he wouldn’t want to eat it again.“, Hoseok explained and ran his fingers along the cold glass.
Yoongi hummed.
573)
„Sometimes you eat one thing too often and then it’s ruined forever.“
„For me that’s kimchi stew.“
Yoongi gasped and acted shocked. „Why’s that.“
Hoseok giggled and leaned a bit forward on the table.
574)
„My grandma used to make kimchi stew all the time. She’d made a bunch of kimchi in summer and then in winter- everyday was kimchi day. I don’t hate it but I prefer not to have it.“
Yoongi nodded and looked up the ceiling.
575)
„I think for me that’s tteokbokki. In middle school all my friends were so into it, we had instant tteokbokki with us all the time. And one day I needed to throw up while we were at lunch. And now I can’t look at tteokbokki without thinking of vomit.“
576)
Hoseok smiled at him with thin lips.
„Good thing the food isn’t here yet.“
„I felt the sudden urge to share this story with you.“
Hoseok broke into a smile and took another sip of his sprite.
577)
The waitress from before came back to their table with a couple side dishes and Yoongi ordered the Jjimdak.
It didn’t take long until they brought a hotplate and the bowl with all the ingredients.
578)
The waitress helped them to set everything up and after a short time, the stew was boiling and they covered the bowl with a lit to let it simmer.
Hoseok snacked a couple of the side dishes, avoiding the kimchi.
579)
There was a pleasant silence between them while they munched on the food.
But something seemed to bother Yoongi. He often placed his chopsticks on the table before be picked them up again.
It took him some time to actually talk.
580)
And when he did, Hoseok was a bit surprised.
„Jaebeom asked me if we could meet up next week.”, Yoongi said suddenly.
The waitress came to remove the lid and took a couple empty side dishes with her to replace them.
581)
Therefore the silence between Yoongi and Hoseok stretched a bit longer than comfortable.
Besides, Hoseok didn’t really know what to say.
This was exciting for Yoongi for sure. But Hoseok didn’t feel so happy about the news.
„That’s great.”, he pressed out.
582)
Yoongi eyed him for a moment and licked his lips.
„I didn’t expect him to reach out to me already.”
„Well. We did a really good job the last two and a half weeks.”
When Hoseok said this he was amazed how quickly his vacation went by.
583)
He saw many places, met many people and was happy to say that Yoongi and he created a bond.
Soon he’d be home in his own city again. Meet with his friends from school, get wasted without any reason because he had nothing better to do really.
584)
Maybe Hoseok should look out for a job. In the end he wouldn’t study anyways.
He might as well earn so money so he could do trips like this more often.
„Thank you.”, Yoongi said and averted his eyes. The orange light red on his cheeks.
585)
„For everything you did for me. You didn’t need to.”
Hoseok gulped down a lump in his throat so he could press out a laugh.
„You are acting as if this is a goodbye.”
Yoongi huffed and raised his hands.
586)
„No,no. I don’t want this to be a goodbye. I’m just saying.I think I never really thanked you.”
Hoseok grinned before he stirred the Jjimdak a little.
„You did, Yoongi. Several times. I know I’m a great fake boyfriend. Recommend me, please.”
Yoongi giggled then.
587)
„Apropos recommending,” Hoseok said and looked at Yoongi shortly before he collected a bit of the stew with his spoon, „I will tell my friends about your service to show people around in Seoul so they will book you when they come here.”
588)
Yoongi’s eyes lit up slightly. „Really? Thank you!”
Hoseok tasted the stew from his spoon and hummed. It was super delicious and he couldn’t wait to start eating.
„Actually, did you meet up with people while we were together?”
Yoongi shook his head and smiled cheeky.
589)
“I tried in the first week. I was out with some people in the morning for a couple hours but I quickly realized I couldn’t keep up with them AND you.”
Hoseok cooed at Yoongi’s comment.
“Oppa, you are being so cute today.”, he said and made Yoongi hiss.
590)
A scowl on Yoongi’s face which made Hoseok wonder if Yoongi liked being called Oppa.
For now they started to eat but Yoongi seemed a bit off today.
Hoseok didn’t question it though. He’d have good reasons.
591)Instead he asked Yoongi about his future plans and how he’d spent the rest of the summer break.
Hoseok wondered if Yoongi was going to visit his family which lived back in Daegu. But he didn’t seem too fond of the idea.
592)
Hoseok could imagine how Yoongi laid in his bed all day. Watching silly dramas and reading webtoons while he was waiting for the sun to set before he’d go out for ice cream.
Or how Yoongi would spent the rest of the summer with Jaebeom.
593)
For a while Hoseok imagined how Yoongi would go with Jaebeom to all the places they went to and make new memories. He’d surely forget about Hoseok soon again.
Hoseok didn’t even know why he was getting so emotional about it.
594)
He just hoped it wouldn’t show while Yoongi was on a rant about the high prices of the new equipment for his camera.
Hoseok was eating the chicken off the bone when Yoongi wiped his mouth.
595)
„Anyway, are you free on Thursday evening? Jaebeom invited us to a bar. They reserved a table. Thursday evening is karaoke night.”
Hoseok covered his mouth for a moment because he didn’t want Yoongi see if he had anything in between his teeth.
596)
“I’m sorry, Yoongi. I promised Seokjin to spent the last evening with him.”
Yoongi nodded right away and waved him off.
„I understand. It’s really your last evening.”
He said it as if he needed to remind himself.
597)
He quickly picked up the chopsticks again and searched for sweet potatoes.
Hoseok bit his bottom lip and grabbed the napkin and wiped his mouth.
„I mean. You are always invited.”, Hoseok mentioned. He knew Yoongi would always choose Jaebeom over him.
598)
But offering was never wrong.
Hoseok grabbed for the glass to hide his insecurities and took a huge gulp, the feeling in his throat almost uncomfortable.
Yoongi also didn’t look at him while he was fumbling with his chopsticks.
599)
“I might as well tell Jaebeom we argued which is why you can’t show up. It’s not a bad excuse.”
Hoseok’s heart hurt for a moment. He didn’t want Yoongi to tell Jaebeom they argued. He couldn’t imagine arguing with Yoongi.
600)
He’d rather hold the elder until they settle the argument.
Hoseok also knew it was a good excuse for Jaebeom to ‘comfort’ Yoongi.
So he wouldn’t disagree.
„Yeah. It’s a good explanation.”, Hoseok only mention and smiled thinly.
Yoongi looked at him.
601)
Hoseok felt his gaze but he tried to look busy.
He didn’t want to extend this conversation.
„I’d like to bring you to your train on Friday.”, Yoongi said and pushed the rest of the side dishes a bit closer to Hoseok.
602)
„Okay.”, Hoseok mumbled and nodded at Yoongi. „That’d be awesome!”
When Hoseok swallowed, Yoongi smiled at him.
Hoseok barely could hold back his own smile.
He sincerely wished Yoongi happiness and therefore his unsure feelings were replaced by euphoria.
603)
He should make the best out of these next days.
So finally he found his words again and told Yoongi everything he liked when they were sightseeing. Maybe so Hoseok could improve when meeting with other people.
They almost spent all afternoon in the restaurant.
604)
Around 5pm they left again, bellies full but still enough space for a dessert.
They picked up an ice cream while they walked a couple blocks.
Hoseok was sure he gained a bit only by how much ice cream he ate with Yoongi these past days.
605)
But Yoongi looked happy while he licked his vanilla ice cream so Hoseok didn’t worry.
Hoseok didn’t even realize they were walking along the Cheonggyecheon stream. Yoongi had showed him this stream before and he seemed to like it more than the Han River.
606)
Hoseok looked along the buildings and at the sky.
Clouds were building up and they seemed a bit darker than usual.
„Is it going to thunder later?”, he asked and looked over to Yoongi who was pushing his ice cream deeper into his corn.
607)
Hoseok snorted when he saw the elder had ice cream on his nose. He was about to reach out and to wipe it away on his own, when Yoongi quickly rubbed over his nose.
„Could be.”, he mumbled and pulled out his phone, probably to look up the weather.
He then stopped and groaned.
608)
„I think we should leave. It’s going to rain in a bit and then thunder.”
Hoseok sighed and also stopped in his tracks.
He searched for stairs which lead up to the street again.
„Do you want to come with me?”
609)
Hoseok stared at Yoongi for a moment. He wondered if Yoongi could mean something like a sleepover. But it was silly considering his small bed.
„We could still watch a movie and once the storm calms down I will bring you to the subway so you can drive back home.
Ah.
610)
„Sounds good.”, Hoseok said and smiled brightly. „I decide which movie though.”
„Please not another documentary.”, Yoongi groaned while they kept walking to the nearest station.
On their way home, Yoongi and Hoseok discussed about documentaries.
611)
Last time Hoseok had turned on one about predators in the night and Yoongi hated the quality of the filming with night vision cameras. Everything looked so 'fake'.
Hoseok only laughed when Yoongi ranted and looked at the elder with endearment.
612)
He’d pick an especially shitty one this time.
He liked when Yoongi’s voice pitched up slightly and started to sound pouty whenever he was upset about anything really.
He ranted about low budget documentaries until they stood in his flat.
613)
Yoongi had closed the window, the curtains were also closed which helped to cool down the room. But because of the upcoming storm, it was already a bit fresh outside. So it was a better idea to let the air roam.
614)
Yoongi quickly pulled open the curtains and opened the window wide before he collected books from his bed and threw a blanket over his bed.
„I only have water here.”, he said before he opened a cupboard in the kitchen and pulled out a bottle with a squeak.
615)
„You know I’m easy-care.”, Hoseok said and sat down on Yoongi’s bed.
He grabbed the bottle when Yoongi handed him one and drank half of it. The ice cream made him thirsty.
Yoongi did just the same while he carried his laptop over to his bed and placed it besides Hoseok.
616)
He was quick to turn it on and to search for something to watch.
Meanwhile Yoongi was cleaning up a bit. Hoseok didn’t really mind that clothes were laying around but Yoongi seemed slightly embarrassed about it.
617)
Hoseok pulled out his phone and texted Seokjin he’d stay a bit longer at Yoongi’s and come back after the storm calmed down. He then placed his mobile on the desk besides Yoongi’s bed and kept switching back and forth between different options.
618)
Finally Yoongi settled on the bed as well and helped Hoseok to decide.
Hoseok got comfortable when Yoongi stood up to close the window. It had started raining already.
619)
„Why don’t you keep it open? It’s nice to have fresh air.”, Hoseok mentioned but Yoongi closed the window with a loud bang.
„It’s also wet. It’s not good for the room.”
Hoseok only hummed and wriggled lower on Yoongi’s bed.
620)
He balanced the laptop on his hips and placed half of it on Yoongi’s once he laid down besides Hoseok. They needed to squish up slightly but it was a fit.
Hoseok’s heart beat a bit faster. He was excited to lay besides Yoongi for 1 hour and 52 minutes.
621)
But the food from today was weighing him down. His eyes were droopy and the warmth between Yoongi and him soporific. He only remembered how he snuggled a bit closer to Yoongi but after 26 minutes of the documentary his eyes closed and he fell into a deep slumber.
622)
Hoseok awoke when it was pitch black in the room. A loud thunder woke him up, followed by lightning.
Yoongi’s room seemed even smaller now and Hoseok realized right away that Yoongi was not besides him.
The laptop didn’t lie on the bed as well.
623)
Hoseok couldn’t make it out so he reached over to his phone and looked at the clock.
12:28 am.
Hoseok quickly unlocked the phone, squinting at the bright screen. He quickly texted Seokjin that he was still at Yoongi’s.
624)
The elder told him to stay because the storm wouldn’t stop so quickly.
Hoseok scoffed when Seokjin also sent the eggplant emoji.
He then locked his phone again and sat up.
Another thunder made Hoseok frown.
Yoongi didn’t leave the flat, did he?
625)
So he must be in the bathroom. Hoseok should go too.
The sprite and water filled up his bladder.
He looked around the room, even when he didn’t see much except when lightning was flashing through the curtain.
He checked on his phone a couple times.
626)
At first he waited ten minutes.
But nothing in the flat moved. Hoseok would hear Yoongi in the bathroom for sure.
So he decided to look inside.
Hoseok quickly pulled off his socks, a bit too warm for the flat at the moment.
627)
He placed them on top of Yoongi’s pile of clothes before he walked up to the bathroom.
The lights were on so Hoseok knocked.
„Yoongles? I might need to use the bathroom too.”, Hoseok whined and stepped around.
No answer.
628)
Hoseok knocked a second time,
„Hyung?”, he asked this time but again, nobody answered.
At this moment Hoseok imagined Yoongi slipping in the bath and falling down, hurting himself.
So he decided to open the door which was hopefully not locked.
629)
Hoseok grabbed the handle and pushed it down until the door opened luckily.
Carefully, so he wouldn’t hit Yoongi if he was right behind the door, he opened it and looked inside.
630)
At first sight the bathroom was empty, but Hoseok twitched when he noticed Yoongi sitting on the floor right next to the door.
The boy was curled up, hugging his knees and hiding his face.
Hoseok saw a phone in his hand and ear buds connected to them.
631)
He took a deep breath when he realized there was no need to be scared.
Instead he squatted down and carefully touched Yoongi’s arm.
The elder twitched and looked up immediately. His eyes big and surprised.
But once he saw Hoseok, his expression softened and he looked away.
632)
Almost as if he was ashamed.
He then hid his face.
Hoseok pulled out one ear bud.
„What’s up? Why are you sitting here? Is it so bad in bed with me?”, Hoseok tried to joke but his own joke hurt him a little. Because it felt true.
633)
Yoongi shook his head and was able to smile a bit.
He was still avoiding Hoseok’s gaze and stared at his own hands.
Hoseok heard a song through the ear bud he didn’t know but the volume was pretty high up.
634)
Another thunder rumbled through the building and suddenly Yoongi started shaking. He covered his ear which was missing an ear bud now and closed his eyes.
Just then Hoseok understood that Yoongi was scared of the thunder.
He gasped and his brained stopped working unluckily.
635)
But he quickly shut the bathroom door and rubbed Yoongi’s arms which were still shaking.
„Why didn’t you wake me up?”, Hoseok asked and apparently Yoongi was still able to hear him through his hand.
„I didn’t want to bother you.”, Yoongi said right away.
636)
Hoseok sighed and still rubbed Yoongi’s arms. He couldn’t imagine how many hours he had spent in the bathroom. How many thunderstorms he needed to find a secure place.
„Silly. You’d never bother me.”, Hoseok said and pulled away Yoongi’s hand.
637)„You can’t sit here all night. Besides, I need to use the toilet.”
Yoongi looked sorry out of sudden. He started to get up to his feet. „I’m sorry.”, he said and Hoseok only shook his head.
„Don’t apologize. You should lie in bed tho.”
„I can’t Hoseok.”, Yoongi said shakily.
638)
For a moment Hoseok though Yoongi was about to cry.
„Even when I lie with you?”, Hoseok asked and looked deep into Yoongi’s eyes when the elder finally looked back at him.
„You would? You need to go back eventually. Seokjin is missing you surely.”
Hoseok chuckled.
639)
„He told me to stay at your place. So no- he won’t worry. Of course I will stay with you.”
Yoongi sighed relieved and nodded.
Hoseok rubbed over Yoongi's skin a bit more until he lifted the ear bud again.
640)
„I don’t want you to wait outside. So...uh..”, Hoseok huffed a bit embarrassed. „Would you mind turning around while I use the toilet?”
Red flushed over Yoongi’s cheeks before he nodded rapidly.
He turned right way and leaned his forehead against the wall, closing his eyes.
641)
He pushed the ear bud back into his ear.
Hoseok quickly unbuckled his pants and stepped up to the toilet.
It felt weird to pee while Yoongi’s back was facing him. He felt embarrassed and thought Seokjin would laugh at him if he’d tell him about it.
642)
Maybe he'd keep this to himself.
Hoseok quickly washed his hands and looked in the mirror for a split second.
He looked absolutely jazzed but that wasn’t important now, so he dried his hand in the towel nearby and then stepped back to Yoongi.
643)
His hand were drawing big circles on Yoongi’s back while he guided Yoongi back to his bed.
Yoongi liked to lie inside so Hoseok let him crawl on the bed first. It was quite obviously that Yoongi didn’t know which way to turn.
644)
He pulled the thin blanket on the bed up to his hips while thunder was still rumbling outside.
Hoseok would hate himself for sleeping in his clothes tomorrow, but he quickly followed Yoongi and moved closer.
645)
Finally Yoongi faced him, but his pulled up shoulders and tiny fists in front of him made him seem so small. Hoseok almost groaned at the sight.
So he gently laid an arm around Yoongi’s body.
646)
Once the older opened his eyes a bit, he raised his head for Hoseok to push his arm underneath.
Yoongi seemed slightly embarrassed about it but Hoseok couldn't imagine anything better.
647)
Thought Hoseok knew he’d also regret this once he couldn’t feel his arm anymore, but when Yoongi settled his head on his arm and pushed his face against Hoseok’s collarbone, Hoseok was really the happiest. He wriggled a bit until both of them were comfortable.
648)
And while Hoseok gently stroke up and down Yoongi’s back, he nuzzled his nose in Yoongi’s hair which smell he always liked. The elder didn’t seem to mind and laid his arm around Hoseok too. Their legs tangled.
649)
Hoseok hoped Yoongi couldn’t feel his fast beating heart. Almost as fast as the song in Yoongi’s ears.
He stared at the wall behind Yoongi all night and only close his eyes once the thunderstorm stopped and Yoongi stopped shaking.
650)
Hoseok awoke late.
It was already bright in Yoongi’s flat and Hoseok heard the birds sing outside.
A couple cars were passing the house and Hoseok stirred under the blanket.
It took him a couple moments to realize in which situation he was again.
651)
This time Yoongi was besides him. Hoseok’s arm was still outstretched on Yoongi’s pillow, but the blonde lied a bit lower, forehead pressed against Hoseok’s chest and arms around his torso. Yoongi felt warm against him.
652)
Yoongi’s phone and ear buds were also gone and Hoseok figured Yoongi woke up a while ago and opened up the window.
He felt dizzy when he thought that Yoongi crawled back under the blanket with him again.
653)
He moved carefully when he reached down to stroke through Yoongi’s hair which was tousled.
This way Hoseok was able push some hair out of Yoongi’s face and reveal his rosy cheeks and small pout. Hoseok smiled a the sight and froze when Yoongi squeezed his body a bit tighter.
654)
It seemed like as if he wanted to hide from the light. Hoseok laid a calming hand on Yoongi’s back and closed his own eyes again. They were burning from the lack of sleep so he could use some more rest.
655)
He also thought of Seokjin and that he should text him once he’d wake up again.
But shortly before he doze off again, Yoongi twitched and moved in his arms.
He groaned and rubbed his face against Hoseok’s chest.
656)
Surely only because he was too sleepy to actually realize it was Hoseok he was rubbing himself on.
So gently, Hoseok leaned a bit back. He didn’t want to seem as if he rejected Yoongi.
He just wanted to create some space for Yoongi.
657)
„Are you comfortable down there?”, Hoseok asked softly and Yoongi stiffened.
He slowly looked up to Hoseok. His feline eyes a bit rounder now and almost innocent.
Both of them looked at each other for a moment before Hoseok felt Yoongi grabbing the back of his shirt.
658)
„Thank you.”, Yoongi mumbled and looked away again, this time he didn’t press his face into Hoseok’s chest though. „I mean for staying with me.”
Hoseok pressed his lips together and patted Yoongi’s head.
„No need to thank me. I’m glad you found a bit comfort in it.”
659)
Hoseok really meant it. If he was able to calm down Yoongi just the tiniest bit, then he was satisfied.
„What do you usually do during a thunderstorm?”, Hoseok asked, still carting his fingers through Yoongi’s strands.
Yoongi let a bit of time pass before he answered.
660)
„Sitting in the bathroom is the best option. I feel like it’s very isolated and sometimes I also turn on loud music and shower during a thunderstorm. But I can’t do that in this flat because the walls are too thin.”, Yoongi shrugged.
661)
Hoseok frowned and suddenly something slipped from his lips he didn’t intend to say.
„Did Jaebeom never lie with you?”
Although Yoongi chuckled, Hoseok knew he didn’t think it was funny.
662)
„He doesn’t think thunder is that scary.”, Yoongi simply answered and pulled back his arm from around Hoseok.
He immediately regretted asking this question.
But then Yoongi only wriggled up the mattress and laid his head onto the pillow besides Hoseok.
663)
Suddenly Hoseok wondered what exactly Yoongi saw in Jaebeom.
The boy didn’t seem like a nice boyfriend. Too busy with his own life and blind for the feelings of other people. Or maybe Hoseok was the blind one and couldn’t see Jaebeom’s beautiful sides.
664)
Either way Hoseok didn’t like the way Yoongi always became a bit distant when it came to Jaebeom.
Yoongi wetted his lips with his pink tongue and then looked at Hoseok again.
„How come you weren’t scared? You are the scare cat out us two.”
665)
Hoseok giggled when Yoongi said this.
It was true. You could startle Hoseok easily but somehow thunders never scared him.
While Hoseok grinned, he reached out to stroke over Yoongi’s cheek with the back of his hand.
666)
„Well, I need to protect my boyfriend, right?”, he said cheekily and suddenly realized his gesture was a bit too intimate.
Hoseok thought about pulling back but then he saw Yoongi’s calm eyes on him- staring right back at him.
Hoseok’s hand still hovered over Yoongi’s cheek.
667)
When Hoseok swallowed, it felt way too loud and almost as if he disturbed something.
Yoongi gently grabbed Hoseok’s wrist and guided his hand back to the mattress.
They stayed like this for a moment.
Yoongi’s thumb running over Hoseok’s wrist.
668)
„You are very kind to me, Hoseok.”, Yoongi said the softest way possible and Hoseok’s heart skipped a beat.
Yoongi made clear that Hoseok was getting ahead of himself.
He was thinking back to Yoongi’s no-touch-policy. Hoseok almost forget about it. They were alone now.
669)
There was no need for Hoseok to be so gentle to him.
But at the same time, Yoongi’s voice seemed like honey thanking him.
Yoongi then let go of Hoseok’s wrist and sat up.
670)
„Your eyes are still red. You can rest a bit more while I go shower, okay?”, Yoongi suggested while he crawled over Hoseok to leave the bed again.
Hoseok only hummed and pulled the blanket higher again.
His heart was beating so fast, Hoseok could impossibly sleep now.
671)
He placed a hand over his chest and felt the heartbeat.
While Yoongi rummaged in his closet, Hoseok wondered what Yoongi was doing to him.
Cuddling up to him and then setting boundaries once Hoseok made a move.
672)
„Are you okay to grab breakfast on the way? Let’s bother Seokjin today.”, Yoongi also mentioned and Hoseok hummed again.
It was Yoongi’s right to reject Hoseok, but he was really playing with his heart at this point and Hoseok wondered if Yoongi knew.
673)
If he knew how much he liked Yoongi.
674)
Hoseok didn’t really know how he ended up on the couch, with Yoongi stuck to his side.
The couch was big enough for all three of them but somehow Yoongi sat down right besides him and didn’t even seem like as if he was trying to tease Hoseok.
675)
He just got comfortable and was scrolling through his phone.
Even Seokjin looked at Hoseok weirdly when he saw them cuddled up in the corner of the couch.
Hoseok only shrugged his shoulders subtil before Seokjin walked back into kitchen to grab some lemonade.
676)
While Yoongi’s thumb stroke over the screen, Hoseok wondered what Yoongi was looking for, so he leaned over a bit, his chin burried in Yoongi’s hair.
„What’s more interesting than paying attention to me?“, Hoseok asked and he heard Yoongi chuckle immediately.
677)
He scrolled up again and hummed.
„I was thinking about what to do tomorrow. It’s our last evening together.“
Really. Their time was almost over. It was bothering Hoseok a lot and somehow he wished he wouldn’t be so attached to Yoongi.
678)
He was almost sure he wouldn’t leave Seoul if Yoongi would ask him to stay.
Hoseok hummed, his lips against Yoongi’s head. If he’d press just a bit closer, would it count as a kiss?
679)
„You two lovebirds are lucky. Tomorrow will be super sunny again and in the evening it will be warm.“, Seokjin interrupted his thoughts and placed the carafe with lemonade on the table with three glasses.
680)
Drizzle was still falling from the sky when Yoongi and Hoseok made their way to Seokjin’s flat.
Hoseok didn’t mind staying inside for today.
He also didn’t mind having Yoongi so close. If only he could lay his arms around the boy.
681)
Seokjin sat down in his armchair.
„I know. I looked up events for tomorrow and then realized the Muju Firefly Festival started last weekend.”, Yoongi said and Hoseok looked over to Seokjin. He didn't remember Seokjin mentioning anything about a festival.
682)
„It’s a very cute festival.”, Seokjin said. „I will go this weekend, so maybe you and Yoongi can go tomorrow?”
Hoseok looked over to Yoongi again who was typing on his phone. Suddenly a lot of pictures showed up and Hoseok leaned in a bit.
683)
Beautiful red lampions were enlightening the dark summer night and nature.
Hoseok hummed and eyed the pictures.
„I’d like to see this in real.”, he said and Yoongi agreed.
„Then lets go tomorrow.”, he said, „It’s a great last event for you here in Seoul.”
684)
„Hey- I'm his last event.”, Seokjin mumbled before he leaned forward to pour some lemonade into his cup.
While Hoseok forced a smile, he felt Yoongi’s words sting.
This really was his last moment with Yoongi.
He wondered how he could make it unforgettable for him too.
685)
Suddenly a message popped up on Yoongi’s phone.
Hoseok read Namjoon’s name, but looked away quickly.
He didn’t want to snoop around.
Yoongi opened the message and sighed.
„I think I need to leave.”, he mumbled and started writing Namjoon back.
686)
„Why’s that?”, Seokjin asked, sounding disappointed.
„My friend bought a bed today and he needs someone to help him carry.”
Seokjin hummed. „We could help you two.”
Yoongi just shook his head. „Nah it’s okay. I think I will come back quickly. I just owe him.”
687)
Yoongi looked up with a kind smile momentarily and then kept writing while he sat up slightly.
Hoseok’s body followed Yoongi’s motion on it’s own.
„Kind regards from Namjoon.”, Yoongi said with a cheeky grin and turned his head towards Hoseok, their faces a bit too close.
688)
Hoseok only snorted. He could vividly imagine Namjoon saying this.
„Yoongi has a very sweet friend.”, Hoseok said and wriggled his eyebrows at Seokjin.
„I’m a convinced single. Sorry babe.”, Seokjin waved him off.
689)
„Hasn’t seen Namjoon yet then.”, Yoongi added and huffed before he pushed himself up the couch.
„I will text you when I come back.”, Yoongi said and smiled at Hoseok, he then suddenly brushed Hoseok’s hair back with his hand.
690)
Somehow as if he was trying to be affectionate.
He then quickly walked over to his shoes, slipped inside and grabbed his light jacket.
„See you later!”, he addressed Seokjin this time before he left.
Hoseok stared at the door dumbly.
691)
He still sat in the same position and his hair was slowly falling back in place.
Seokjin was staring at him and now he was looking back.
„You two are so sappy, even I’m third wheeling.”
Hoseok scoffed at Seokjin’s comment and shook his head before he fell back on the couch.
692)
A cry escaped his throat and he threw his arms over his face.
Suddenly Seokjin gasped. „You haven’t- “, before Seokjin was able to end his sentence, Hoseok yelled.
„Stop it! No. There is nothing going on between us.”, Hoseok said a bit louder and then bit his bottom lip.
693)
He lolled his head to the side and eyed Seokjin who was smiling at him kindly.
„Sadly.”, he said lowly.
Hoseok didn’t disagree.
694)
695)
696)
697)
Hoseok was smiling dumbly. Almost dreamily when he was cleaning the dishes.
He hummed the soft tune which was coming out of the radio while Seokjin packed up the leftovers from their lunch.
Hoseok just placed his phone aside. He was a bit excited.
698)
The chance that Yoongi wanted Hoseok to flirt with him honestly, no matter how small it was, made Hoseok so happy. Maybe he was mistaking it. Maybe he misunderstood, but for now it didn’t matter.
Hoseok was officially whipped. Whipped for Yoongi and his cute behaviour.
699)
Everything Yoongi did was cute.
Last night, Yoongi did so many of these cute little huffs when Hoseok asked him a question.
And Hoseok asked oh so many.
700)
What do you find hilarious but most people don’t find funny?
When was the last time you tried to do something to look cool and it ended in utter embarrassment?
What’s your favorite childhood memory?
Would you rather become rich or famous?
701)
Yoongi answered all of them and lulled Hoseok to sleep with his soothing voice.
The fact that Yoongi had listened to him sleeping made Hoseok’s heart beat even harder.
He could imagine this for the rest of his life.
702)
„Ground control to Hoseok’s brain.”, Seokjin ripped Hoseok out of his daydream of Yoongi and him calling every night from now on until they were old.
Hoseok blinked over to Seokjin and hummed.
„How much longer do you plan on washing this one plate? There are a lot more.”
703)
Hoseok looked down and realized he really rubbed the sponge over one plate all along.
He quickly placed it aside and grabbed the next one.
„Sorry, hyung.”, he mumbled.
„Were you dreaming of Yoongi?”, Seokjin giggled and patted Hoseok’s back.
„Just tell him you like him.”
704)
Hoseok huffed. He could never. So he just shook his head and kept cleaning the dishes.
„Should I tell him?”
Hoseok’s gaze shoot up instantly at Seokjin’s huge grin.
„It’s not funny.”, Hoseok said simply and scoffed at Seokjin.
705)
„My god, Hoseok. Just do yourself the favor. You will not stop thinking of him after Friday. Quite the contrary. I wouldn’t be surprised if you two would facetime 24 hours once you arrive in Gwangju- no- once you sit in the train.”
Hoseok sighed heavily.
706)
„Stop it. Yoongi will go back with Jaebeom after this week and everything will be fine.”, Hoseok said and Seokjin groaned.
„If you say so.”, the elder mumbled and walked to the fridge to store the tupperware up.
Hoseok really couldn’t imagine Yoongi with Jaebeom anymore.
707)
But if he’d be happy, it was fine with Hoseok.
He always has been a bit selfless. He wasn’t the type to fight for someone. And he most importantly never saw someone as a rival.
But Jaebeom was very close to what Hoseok would describe as a interference factor.
708)
The only thing holding Hoseok back was the fact that Yoongi was still talking about Jaebeom and their plan. And that Yoongi was living in Seoul and his home was in Gwangju.
709)
He couldn’t imagine leaving his family behind right after school and Yoongi didn’t seem like the type who wanted to do long distance.
He always acted as if Hoseok would disappear once he’d go back to Gwangju and maybe this was the best Hoseok could do.
710)
Just leave Yoongi alone so he could find happiness.
The high from earlier now turned into a depressing feeling.
Hoseok gulped down the dark feelings though.
He busied himself with cleaning the kitchen, chatted with Seokjin and they planned their next trip.
711)
Maybe they could visit Jeju together next time or Seokjin could come to Gwangju.
Hoseok would be more than happy to show him his hometown.
The last couple of hours past quickly before Yoongi finally showed up at their door.
He was dressed neatly.
712)
Black pants with a white shirt, Yoongi opened the first couple of buttons of it to show his collarbones.
It hung a bit slack from his shoulders but sometimes it stretched over Yoongi’s chest or tightened around his waist when he was moving the right way.
713)
Hoseok excused himself. He still needed to take a shower and when Yoongi arrived at their flat with his cute outfit and dough skin, a bit tan after all the time they spent outside, Hoseok felt even more dirty and knew he needed to take a shower.
714)
He was searching for his best pants and shirt.
During these three weeks he wore most of his clothes.
But he found some shorts which weren’t ripped and a shirt which wasn’t touched yet. It was a bit oversized though. But it didn’t really matter when Hoseok pulled it on.
715)
He thugged it into his pants and walked out to the living room with socks in his hands.
„You know I will come over every weekend, right?”, Yoongi asked and Seokjin laughed.
„I would be worried if you wouldn’t.”, he answered and handed Yoongi a flyer.
716)
Hoseok pulled his socks inside out and then lifted one leg to pull a sock over his feet.
„What flyer did you give him?”
Hoseok stretched his neck curiously.
717)
„An art gallery about modern architecture opened next month and we had flyers at work. I thought it would be interesting for Yoongi.”, Seokjin explained while Yoongi was reading the paper.
Hoseok hummed and eyed Yoongi. He was sad he couldn’t go with him.
718)
„Seokjin offered me to stay tonight because the festival is closer to his apartment than it is to mine.”, Yoongi mentioned and looked up.
„Is that okay with you?”
Hoseok gasped for a moment. He was more than okay with that.
So he nodded quickly.
719)
„Uh- Uhm. Let me change my sheets real quick then.”, Hoseok mumbled and walked back into his room to pull his sheets off.
He knew Yoongi didn’t really mind but he had slept in his sheets for a while now just like Yoongi so he should finally change them.
720)
It took him mere minutes to pull fresh sheets over his bed and to clean up a bit.
He carried the dirty laundry in the bathroom and finally pulled his second sock over his feet.
„I’m sorry I’m not properly dressed.”, Hoseok said a bit ashamed and looked down on himself.
721)
„You are dressed so nicely.”
Yoongi snorted and waved him off.
„You should show off your nice legs. Shorts are perfect. And you look cute in everything.”
Hoseok really needed to purposely press his lips together so nothing would slip.
722)
He swallowed his comment about Yoongi being way cuter and just smiled.
Yoongi’s eyes lingered a bit longer on him though.
Just to support his statement.
„If you say so.”, Hoseok finally said and looked over to Seokjin in the kitchen who was cutting up fruits.
723)
„Do you want to drink anything or eat? We bought melon.”, Hoseok offered and walked a towards the kitchen.
„Thank you but I want to eat at the Festival.”, Yoongi answered and stood up from the couch and followed Hoseok.
„Thank you, hyung.”, he said and raised the flyer.
724)
Seokjin looked back and smiled.
„Glad you like it.”, he said turned back around.
Yoongi placed the flyer on the kitchen table.
„Can we leave?”, Yoongi asked and looked at Hoseok. He quickly agreed and opened the fridge to take a cool bottle of water out.
725)
He was okay with carrying it around. His throat felt especially dry today.
„If you two come back when I sleep already please be quiet.”, Seokjin said and pushed a piece of melon into his mouth.
„I will kill both of you If you won’t shut up.”
726)
Yoongi smiled cheekily and Hoseok catched it before he licked his lips and hummed.
„Promised.”, Yoongi said and walked with Hoseok to their shoes which they pulled on easily.
Suddenly Hoseok felt a hand on the small of his back.
Yoongi was rubbing him.
727)
„I will bring him back safely.”, he said through the flat.
And although Hoseok knew it was some kind of joke between the both of them - mostly because Seokjin laughed- he felt kind of flustered.

Hoseok wanted this last evening with Yoongi to be memorizable.
728)
On their way to the festival, Yoongi told Hoseok a bit about the event.
Apparently it was one of Yoongi’s favorite festivals.
There was a lot of food. They could play some games, buy lucky charms and watch performances.
729)
There was another thing Yoongi wanted to show him later, before the firework.
But now, when they arrived at the booths, Hoseok was really happy they decided to arrive early.
There were so many booths and even more people around them.
730)
„Do you want to eat tteokbokki?", Hoseok asked and grinned brighter than ever when Yoongi fake gagged.
Yoongi stepped up to his space when someone was squeezing past him.
Again, Yoongi touched Hoseok.
This time a secure grip around his arm.
731)
„Wanna hold hands so we won't get lost?"
Yoongi scoffed at Hoseok’s suggestion but looked down to his hands instantly.
He slipped his hand into Hoseok's and squeezed them.
Hoseok’s heart jumped stupidly.
732)
Hoseok squeezed him back and they looked at each other before some more people were walking past them again, trying to get out of the crowd.
„Maybe we should move. I think we are in the way.“, Hoseok mentioned and started dragging Yoongi along for the first couple of booths.
733)
Hoseok could barely see anything anyways.
Maybe they could go back once they eat. For now Hoseok was searching for food.
Yoongi had said he wanted to eat on the festival so Hoseok was wondering what kind of street food he liked most.
734)
He liked how every booth was quite unique. In between all the food booths were small games. For adults and kids.
Hoseok smiled when he heard the kids giggle while they were fishing for plastic ducks.
Suddenly Yoongi thugged on his arm.
735)
Hoseok looked behind himself where Yoongi was desperately trying to keep up with his pace.
„You ate already, right?“, Yoongi asked and Hoseok nodded.
His belly was still so full. He’d like to have some sweet dessert but he didn’t make up his mind yet.
736)
Yoongi pointed over to a booth and this time he was the one dragging Hoseok along.
For a while he wondered what catched Yoongi’s eyes and then he saw and smelled the lamb skewers.
737)
Hoseok never tried those but he remembered that Yoongi had talked about them in their first week.
So he figured those were Yoongi’s favorites.
Back in Gwangju, he’d walk with his friends over the festival or market all day because they could barely decide what to eat.
738)
Usually Hoseok was also quite torn but his friends often took so long, their hunger vanished again and they didn’t eat anything anymore.
Therefore they often spent hours and hours only walking around without any goal, passing the same booths over and over.
739)
Hoseok was honestly surprised to see Yoongi decide so quickly. And it was also somehow endearing.
Like a child running up to it’s favorite candy.
Yoongi didn’t let go of Hoseok’s hand when he queued.
740)
Instead he pulled Hoseok’s arm a bit to the front, almost as if Yoongi was hiding behind him.
„Do you want to drink anything?“, Yoongi asked and pulled out his wallet.
„Yoongi, let me pay.“, Hoseok said and pushed away his wallet.
„I want to treat my Oppa.“
741)
Yoongi boxed Hoseok in the side. It was a soft punch but Hoseok acted it out more painful than it was.
Therefore Yoongi shoved him.
„You pay for everything today then.“, Yoongi said and Hoseok was more than ready to do that.
742)
Their hands separated once Yoongi stepped up to the counter and ordered two lamb skewers and two beer.
Luckily there were bar tables nearby and Hoseok walked over with their drinks when a couple walked off.
743)
Hoseok and Yoongi drank the bottle of water on their way to the festival and Hoseok then threw it away.
He was still thirsty so he took a couple gulps when Yoongi joined him on the table.
„Don’t get drunk. I can’t carry you home.“, Yoongi said and made Hoseok giggle.
744)
He wiped over his mouth and shook his head.
„One beer won’t make me drunk.“
Yoongi shrugged and raised his hands. „Not sure about that.“, he said before he lifted the first skewer up to his mouth and took a bite.
745)
Hoseok watched how Yoongi’s cheeks blew up with the smile which spread all over his face while he chewed. He eyed the skewer as if it was Yoongi’s favorite thing in the world and for a moment Hoseok wondered how he could make Yoongi look at him like this.
746)
„Do you want a bite?“, Yoongi offered but Hoseok shook his head no.
„I’m going to search for something sweet. Maybe chocolate strawberries.“
„mh-Those are a little bit further.“, Yoongi mumbled.
„How do you know that?“
747)
„I’m here every year and every booth is always in the same spot.“
Hoseok hummed and looked along the food booths.
„Isn’t it boring to go on the same festival every year?“, he asked. At least he was bored from the hike his friends made every time.
748)
„I dunno. It’s fun because I always go with different people. Many people book me during this festival so I always get to know new people.“
So it wasn’t the festival per se Yoongi enjoyed but the company.
749)
„Will you search for a new fake boyfriend once I leave?“, Hoseok said and smiled a bit at Yoongi who frowned.
„Oh Hoseok.”, Yoongi sighed dramatically.
„You’ll always be the one and only.”
750)
On the one hand Hoseok was able to smile while he stared into his glas but on the other hand he knew Yoongi was joking.
Which was hurting a tiny bit.
There was a unfamiliar silence between both of them while Yoongi ate.
Hoseok didn’t know what to say.
751)
„But for real, I had the best time ever with you here in Seoul. I’ve been here for years but it was much fun. I feel sad that you will leave so soon.”, Yoongi suddenly said but wasn’t able to look at Hoseok while he said those words.
Maybe because he was blushing a little.
752)
„I was happy too.”, Hoseok admitted out loud.
„I am still.”, he corrected and smiled softly at Yoongi who’s cheeks were stuffed, his eyes round and innocent.
„I’m thankful I was able to get to know you. Even when it was under some weird circumstances.”
753)
The corners of Yoongi’s mouth turned up while he munched on the lamb.
It was soft talk. They never said something like this before. This honest and unprettified.
Hoseok felt honestly appreciated.
754)
He leaned on the table and talked with Yoongi about the booths and once they finished the food and the drinks, they tried to look at every single one of them.
755)
Hoseok tried to win a plushy for Yoongi on a shooting game but he only got a ugly looking Pikachu which comfortable fit in Yoongi’s hands and they later gave to a small kid at a fishing booth who didn’t win anything.

Yoongi and Hoseok bought evil fortune cookies.
756)
Yoongi's said, ‘You will die alone and poorly dressed.’
And Hoseok laughed until he read his own one, ‘Your liver hates you.’ which made Yoongi almost pissed his pants out of laughter.
They soon searched for a toilet then.
757)
It was getting darker and once Yoongi relieved himself, they walked over to wood area.
There were more trees and higher grass.
A small stream was flowing along and for a while Hoseok wondered why they stopped there.
Many people settled in the high grass or aside.
758)
Yoongi told Hoseok about the firework and that it would go off around midnight.
Hoseok knew they had a little less than two more hours to go but Hoseok was sure he could spent 20 more with Yoongi.
Suddenly small little lights were twinkling inbetween the grass.
759)
Hoseok rubbed his eyes. Maybe he was tired. They were like small stars and Hoseok was amazed when he realized those were fireflies. Of course they’d show up eventually. In the end it was a firefly festival.
Hoseok gasped when they flew up.
760)
He liked how delicate they looked and how light their movement seemed.
The sounds of the evening made the whole scenery perfect. Hoseok just felt calm. Overall pleased with himself and with life in this moment.
761)
„It’s so pretty, right?”, Yoongi said quietly as if he’d scare away the fireflies other ways.
Hoseok only nodded and Hoseok’s eyes were fixed on the little twinkles in the dark.
He felt Yoongi close. The elder was standing close but they weren’t touching.
762)
Hoseok would have liked to hug Yoongi and to look with him together. But he held back.
So in the end they stood there. Maybe even half an hour before Yoongi spoke again.
„We should queue.”, he said and Hoseok looked over to him.
763)
„For what?”, he asked while Yoongi started to walk back. Hoseok followed him without thinking twice. He looked back though. Only a moment.
„To buy a wish lantern.”, Yoongi said and smiled at Hoseok.
764)
„Shortly before the firework you can write a wish on your lantern before you light it and then let it go. It’s very beautiful.”
Hoseok imagined it for a moment and thought it was a great idea. He was excited to sent a wish up to heaven and wondered what he could write down.
765)
Yoongi guided him through the crowd before he stopped at the end of the queue.
People were moving fast and they got a lantern quicker than Hoseok expected.
He thought they’d maybe get one too late.
766)
But suddenly they were on their way to the field with a folded lantern in their hand.
Hoseok ran his thumb over the lantern and thought about a simple thing he could wish for.
And once Yoongi stopped, Hoseok looked around.
767)
So many people were on the field. They were writing on their lanterns and some were already lit.
So Hosek quickly unfolded the lantern and searched for a nice spot to write on before he handed it to Yoongi with the pen they lent.
768)
Yoongi took the supplies and stuck out his tongue while he wrote his wish down.
He looked so cute, Hoseok wanted to kiss his cheeks.
Hoseok was dreaming about how his Yoongi’s skin would feel on his lips when Yoongi gave him the lantern back so he could write something down.
769)
He read Yoongi’s wish first though.
‘May my beloved ones find happiness.’
Hoseok’s heart bloomed at Yoongi’s words. He was making a wish for others. Hoseok felt a bit selfish when he wrote down ‘Please let me find my soulmate’ clumsily.
770)
He quickly turned away when he noticed Yoongi was reading his wish too. He was feeling a bit embarrassed about it.
„So how do we light this up?”, he asked and turned the lantern around before he started to unfold it further.
771)
Yoongi lent him a hand immediately and smiled softly. „Let me help you.”, he mumbled and soon their lantern was also bloated and ready to fly.
Yoongi and Hoseok held the lantern close so it wouldn't start too early.
772)
Hoseok saw a couple ones flying earlier but Yoongi and he agreed the let go once every one else did.
So they waited patiently.
The flickering of light from their lantern reminded him of the fireflies and suddenly Hoseok felt really soft.
773)
He looked at Yoongi and his enlightened features.
Hoseok’s wish was facing Yoongi and the elder seemed to read it over and over.
He wondered what Yoongi was thinking. He barely could read anything of Yoongi’s calm expression.
774)
„What are you thinking of?”, Hoseok suddenly asked.
His brain to mouth filter seemed a bit off tonight.
Yoongi looked back at him. Soft eyes flickering all over his face.
Suddenly people were starting to count down.
775)
Hoseok blinked away from Yoongi and looked at the other people.
He didn’t feel like counting so he looked back at Yoongi who was still studying his face.
There were only 5 seconds left.
4.
3.
2.
1.
Yoongi and Hoseok let go of the lantern a bit late.
776)
They pushed the lantern up a bit clumsily as if they didn’t hear the countdown and as if their lantern could catch up to the others that way.
Their hands touched and Hoseok was surprised when Yoongi grabbed Hoseok’s wrist.
Yoongi’s fingertips were a bit cold.
777)
But his grip was strong and felt good.
For a moment Hoseok and Yoongi both looked after their wish lantern and listened to the cheers of the people around him.
Some people were hugging and laughing.
778)
„I was thinking of you, Hoseok.”, Yoongi suddenly answered his question from before.
Hoseok looked over to him right away.
Yoongi sounded too honest to be joking and his heart was picking up a ridiculous speed.
„I think about you a lot.”, Yoongi added.
779)
His lips forming so softly around the words.
Hoseok looked at the beautiful human in front of him. This kind and caring person Hoseok has been able to meet.
Not only was Yoongi pretty to begin with. But his funny and honest traits made him so much more beautiful.
800)
Hoseok was utterly in love with Min Yoongi.
And before he knew it, he leaned over to Yoongi who was already so close but still not close enough, and placed his lips on Yoongi’s.
781)
It was fast.
When Hoseok pulled back, it felt like as if it didn't happen.
He was still only mere centimeters away from Yoongi but he couldn't look at him.
Yoongi didn’t kiss him back.
782)
The elder didn't move his lips, didn't pressed back when their lips met and also didn't move at all.
It was like as if Hoseok would kiss a frozen version of Yoongi.
He felt horrible right away. His heart slipped down, down until Hoseok thought it would fall on the ground.
783)
He kissed Yoongi just like this, without knowing if he wanted that too.
And most importantly, he didn’t ask for permission and acted on impulse.
He was about to apologize, when Yoongi reached up to Hoseok's neck and pulled him back, bringing their lips together.
784)
This time Yoongi’s lips were opened a bit, laying on Hoseok's lips in a more comfortable way.
Hoseok closed his eyes and kissed Yoongi back in a proper way.
Soon their lips molded together in a calm but regular rhythm.
785)
Yoongi didn’t let go of Hoseok's neck and when Hoseok stepped up to Yoongi and grabbed him by his hips, a soft breath of air escaped the elder- almost like a sigh.
Hoseok's lips tingled as if he ate something spicy.
786)
He liked the sparkling feeling and at this moment he could imagine to never stop kissing Yoongi.
He tasted sweet. Maybe because of the chocolate strawberries they shared earlier but maybe it was Yoongi himself.
787)
However, Hoseok flickered his tongue over Yoongi’s bottom lip and apparently Yoongi thought about doing this at the same time, so their tongues met for only a moment before their lips crashed together again.
Hoseok felt a wave of euphoria wash over him.
788)
He felt like as if he was able to do everthing.
But his last piece of mind told him to stop here.
He wanted to kiss even more. He was convinced he could stand on the field all night and kiss Yoongi's lips red and swollen.
789)
But he also didn't want to do that in front of so many people.
He wanted Yoongi for himself only.
790)
Pulling back was a bit difficult because Yoongi was still holding him in place, but once Hoseok created a bit of space, he quickly circled his arms around Yoongi’s upper body and hugged him.
791)
He pressed Yoongi against his chest as if he was a missing piece that belonged to his body and soul.
And Yoongi was probably able to feel Hoseok's fast heartbeat.
Yoongi quickly laid his arms around Hoseok’s shoulders and Hoseok felt Yoongi’s nose on his neck.
792)
Hoseok didn't know how long they stood like that. It felt good to hug Yoongi like this.
Hoseok never wanted to let go. He'd willingly carry Yoongi around like this all the time.
But they got disturbed which made Yoongi pull away from Hoseok.
793)
"Finally I see you two kiss.", Jaebeom said and stood right in front of them.
Hoseok thought it was weird to disturb anyone like this.
Especially when it was Jaebeom who was smiling at them in this weird kind of way.
It looked more than fake. It looked forced.
794)
“Hey.”, Yoongi said airy.
And his reaction made Hoseok wonder if Yoongi knew that Jaebeom was watching.
Yoongi’s hand vanished from Hoseok’s body and therefore Hoseok also pulled back.
Suddenly he felt cold.
795)
Did Yoongi initiate this situation so they’d kiss in front of Jaebeom? Did he see him approaching? Was it supposed to look natural? Whatever Yoongi planned or didn’t plan - it made Jaebeom’s blood boil obviously.
796)
His ears were bright red and he looked at Hoseok with a boring gaze.
Jaebeom wasn’t alone, some people were behind him who were talking to each other, some on them beer in their hands.
“What are you two up to after the firework?”, Jaebeom asked and finally looked at Yoongi.
797)
Hoseok looked at Yoongi and saw an expression he didn’t see on Yoongi’s face ever before.
He looked so stressed. Yoongi was obviously thinking hard about something.
His brows were scrunched together, shoulders raised as if he wanted to shrink into himself.
798)
Yoongi seemed pale suddenly.
Hoseok wondered why Yoongi looked so distressed.
“Are you going out to drink?”, Jaebeom asked after Yoongi didn’t answer his first question.
The blonde still didn’t seem like as if he’d answer.
Hoseok frowned.
799)
Something was wrong.
“Are you not talking to me anymore?”, Jaebeom added with a humorless laugh.
Hoseok would have liked to give Jaebeom a piece of his mind.
But he noticed that Yoongi was holding his breath.
He was tense and didn’t breath.
800)
No wonder he was just staring back at Jaebeom without talking.
Hoseok never was in such a situation before.
He didn’t know if what he did was the right thing but when he reached out and gently grabbed Yoongi’s wrist, Yoongi finally gasped for air and looked at him.
801)
He swallowed and blinked before he seemed to realize he was out of it for a moment.
Yoongi looked back at Jaebeom and said right away: "We are going home now."
Jaebeom blinked dumbly and Hoseok was confused.
802)
"Are we? What about the firework?", he asked and Yoongi looked at him again right away.
His eyes were a bit round. But he seemed desperate to leave.
"Fuck the firework. I want to go home with you."
And Hoseok almost laughed at Yoongi’s blunt answer.
803)
He couldn’t stop smiling though.
“Okay. Let’s go home.”, Hoseok said and it sounded good to say this. That they’d go home.
Jaebeom was a bit baffled. He obviously didn’t get why Yoongi wanted to leave right away.
804)
And although something ugly was still telling Hoseok that Yoongi was still trying to make Jaebeom jealous, that all of this was an act, it felt so good when Yoongi took Hoseok’s hand and pulled him away.
805)
The goodbye was short.
They left the place as quickly as possible.
And on their way home, Hoseok was clinging to Yoongi’s hand desperately.
806)
The moment they entered the flat, Hoseok checked if Seokjin’s shoes were there.
Since they weren’t and Seokjin’s cardigan was also gone, Hoseok was sure they were alone.
Yoongi barely spoke on the way. To be correct he didn’t speak at all.
807)
He just sighed and Hoseok didn’t know what to do.
So he kept silent and watched Yoongi.
But now, Yoongi let go of Hoseok’s hand he was holding all along and then walked straight into the bathroom.
Hoseok stood in the living room a bit dumbfounded.
808)
He wondered if Yoongi wasn’t feeling good but he decided to give him space.
Once he slipped out of his sneakers, Hoseok lit up a couple of lamps and sat down on the couch. He sunk into the soft fabric and looked up at the ceiling.
The lamps barely threw any light up there.
809)
Hoseok imagined how they wouldn’t talk again. How Yoongi would go straight to Hoseok’s room, close the door and leave the next morning without another word.
This idea hurt Hoseok. But he wouldn’t force himself on Yoongi.
He never pushed boundaries and he wouldn’t start now.
810)
When the bathroom door opened again, Yoongi fumbled with the light a bit before he closed the door behind himself.
He walked over to the living room and stood in front of Hoseok. A bit of distance was still there but Yoongi seemed restless.
811)
Hoseok sat up and rubbed his sweaty hands on his shorts.
He looked at Yoongi, pretty Yoongi who looked so small in this moment.
“Are you leaving?”, Hoseok asked. He desperately wanted to know if Yoongi would stay or not.
812)
“Do you want me to leave?”, Yoongi asked instead and Hoseok shook his head immediately.
Yoongi pulled on the sleeves of his shirt and pulled up his shoulders before he spoke.
“Okay.”
The relieve Hoseok felt made him feel light and Hoseok dared to smiled a bit.
813)
One question was ghosting through his head ever since they left.
He wouldn’t pressure Yoongi into anything but he wanted him to be honest.
814)
“Did you just kiss me back because you saw Jaebeom coming?”, Hoseok said with a thin voice but because of the dead silence it sounded louder than Hoseok intended.
Yoongi took a deep breath, his chest lifting underneath the wide shirt.
815)
“What if I did?”, Yoongi asked back and Hoseok looked down.
He felt miserable and he didn’t know if he should cry or laugh.
Just for a moment he thought Yoongi seriously liked him back. Yoongi had his heart in his hands and he was crushing it.
816)
Hoseok tried to concentrate on his breathing. He didn’t want to cry in front of Yoongi. He’d handle it like a man.
Hoseok saw Yoongi walking up to him until he stood in front of him.
817)
He felt Yoongi’s hand in his hair and the soft movement of his fingers through the strands made it hard for him to keep himself together.
“Are you dumb?”, Yoongi asked and chuckled. “Do you really think I had time to pay any attention to him?”
818)
Hoseok raised his head and looked up at Yoongi who was eying at him with a soft gaze.
Yoongi then leaned down and placed a soft kiss on Hoseok’s lips.
It was gentle and barely anything more than a peck.
819)
But Hoseok felt himself wanting more. He grabbed Yoongi’s arms and tried to stretch a bit so he could press against Yoongi’s lips a bit more.
But instead of pulling back, Yoongi pushed back, crawled on top of the couch and into Hoseok’s lap before he took a seat.
820)
Hoseok gasped when he felt Yoongi’s weight on top of him.
He grabbed Yoongi’s thighs and ran up his hands and circled his arms around Yoongi’s body.
And Hoseok thought he was dreaming. Maybe he just imagined Yoongi was kissing him.
821)
But the touch of Yoongi’s hands on his cheeks and throat felt way too real.
And when he sighed into Hoseok’s mouth, he knew it was real.
This was real. Yoongi was kissing him. Seriously and without anyone around them.
This wasn’t fake.
822)
Hoseok now got a bit more eager. Yoongi followed his speed and soon they were kissing open mouthed.
Hoseok molded into the couch while Yoongi pressed himself even closer.
Their breath sped up and Yoongi were escaping little moans.
823)
Hoseok bet he was embarrassed about them because they sounded winier after a while.
But Hoseok just enjoyed hearing him. He enjoyed how they licked into each others mouth and bit into each others bottom lip.
824)
And he himself gasped, when Yoongi was suddenly rolling his hips down.
Yoongi’s jeans felt rough against Hoseok’s soft shorts and suddenly Hoseok was scared he might get hard too quick.
Hoseok was weak for making out.
In the past, he was always the first one to be aroused.
825)
He didn’t want to scare Yoongi away, but the elder also didn’t stop rutting against Hoseok’s crotch.
The first moan escaped Hoseok’s mouth and Yoongi swallowed it with a smirk.
Hoseok was about to grab Yoongi’s ass with his hands, when he twitched in surprise.
826)
“Oh no! You are not fucking in MY flat!”
Yoongi almost fell down Hoseok’s lap when he got frightened.
Hoseok was able to pull him back up last minute, but both their eyes fell on Seokjin who stood in the door.
827)
He quickly stepped inside and closed the door behind himself.
“Are you nuts?”, Seokjin asked, his voice high pitched and hysterical.
“I don’t want cum on my couch! Get the fuck off of that!”
Hoseok helped Yoongi up and stood up himself, Yoongi was hiding behind him a bit.
828)
Hoseok couldn’t stop grinning.
He barely saw Seokjin like that and he thought it was hilarious.
“Wipe that dirty grin out of your face, Jung Hoseok. I’m gonna whoop you ass tomorrow!”, Seokjin yelled and pointed at him with a crooked finger.
829)
He quickly stepped past them and walked straight to his room.
“This is a single household! This is a cock-free zone. I can’t believe it!"
Once Seokjin threw the door shut, Hoseok started to giggle and turned around to face Yoongi again.
830)
“Isn’t he angry?”, Yoongi said carefully.
It was true. People who weren’t familiar with Seokjin might think he was mad but Hoseok knew he was just overacting and he’d be able to clown Seokjin about it later.
831)
“He’s just jealous.”, Hoseok answered and leaned over to steal another kiss from Yoongi’s lips.
“We should go to my room though. The couch is uncomfortable.”
“Is your room also cock-free zone?”, Yoongi said in an alluring tone.
832)
Hoseok’s heart skipped a beat before Seokjin yelled again, “Every single square meter in this flat is a cock-free zone!”
This time Hoseok and Yoongi giggled.
833)
Once they settled in bed, they didn’t really fool around anymore.
At least Yoongi wasn’t trying to get Hoseok hard again. But they were making out alot. The smacking of their lips were so loud in Hoseok’s room, he’d probably still hear it in his dreams.
834)
Kissing Yoongi felt so right and good, Hoseok thought he was in heaven. Yoongi’s skin was hot underneath Hoseok’s touch.
At one point Yoongi had hugged him so close, he wondered if something was wrong.
835)
But then Yoongi took a deep breath against his chest and sighed, “Fuck you smell so good.”
Hoseok was flustered and then they stayed like this. Except of when Yoongi wriggled up again and Hoseok thugged his head under his chin. He was able to hug Yoongi completely.
836)
And while Yoongi doze off into sleep and snored softly, Hoseok stared into darkness, unsure if he could sleep or not. He wanted to feel Yoongi. This was probably their last night together for a while and he wanted to treasure the moment.
837)
Hoseok smiled silly at the dark ceiling when something behind Yoongi lit up.
Hoseok tilted his head over and saw the display of Yoongi's mobile.
Yoongi’s had a text message. From Jaebeom. Actually there were a lot of messages.
Hoseok felt something ugly bubble in his chest.
838)
He was wondering why Jaebeom was still bothering Yoongi.
So he reached out for the mobile carefully not to wake up Yoongi.
839)
Hoseok read through the chat.
840)
841)
842)
843)
844)
845)
Hoseok staredat the glowing display.
He didn't really know what to do.
Suddenly he felt like tearing up. But at the same time he was kind of angry.
Just a tiny bit. Maybe more jealous.
846)
Jealous that Yoongi kept talking to Jaebeom regularly. But he also knew he wasn’t supposed to feel like this.
In the end this was their plan all along. So those messages should be fine.
847)
Jaebeom was obviously obsessed with Yoongi again. But Hoseok wasn't sure how Yoongi felt.
Therefore, the ugly feeling inside of Hoseok’s mind grew bigger and bigger with every passing minute.
848)
Yoongi could either be his or Yoongi forget about him and go back to Jaebeom the moment Hoseok would step onto the train.
The thought only pained him already. He didn't know if he could deal with the feelings.
849)
What disappointed Hoseok most, was that Yoongi wrote Jaebeom his location, even when Yoongi made Hoseok feel like as if it was a coincidence on the festival.
So Hoseok felt betrayed.
850)
Hoseok noticed Yoongi stirring in his arms.
It was subtle but Hoseok felt him shift.
Yoongi took a deep breath in after he pressed his nose against Hoseok’s collarbone.
Hoseok locked Yoongi’s phone and looked down once Yoongi moved some more.
851)
He was restless and Hoseok knew he’d soon be fully awake.
His mind was nagging him to speak up.
When Yoongi looked up to him, his breath on his jaw, he asked: „Why are you still awake?“
Hoseok needed to do something, didn’t he?
[ Hoseok will...]
852)
Even in the dim moonlight, Hoseok was able to make out Yoongi’s puffy cheeks.
He gulped when he looked down to Yoongi.
Hoseok really shouldn’t interrupt this moment.
853)
The boy he liked was laying in his arms and he’d definitely ruin the mood.
But Hoseok had the strong feeling Yoongi wasn’t feeling the same way. And he wasn’t really the type to cling to things which were unreachable for him.
854)
So instead of telling Yoongi to go back to sleep, he started to pull away from him, causing confusion on Yoongi’s face.
When he started to sit up, Yoongi did the same, even when he was half sleepy.
855)
He rubbed his eyes and frowned at Hoseok when he was holding up his phone.
It took Yoongi a moment to understand that it was his own one.
“What’s with my phone?”, Yoongi asked, his voice a bit hoarse.
Hoseok was searching for the right words. He wasn’t prepared for this.
856)
He was still thinking about Jaebeom’s messages.
“Hoseok.”, Yoongi said, making said boy look at him.
“Did you look through my phone?”
Hoseok swallowed while he was still clinging to the phone.
857)
He gazed downwards. Of course he knew it was wrong. He felt guilty and he was about to apologize when Yoongi spoke again.
“Why would you do that..”
Yoongi sounded so broken, Hoseok looked immediately up again and felt the heart in his chest squeeze uncomfortable.
858)
Yoongi reached out for his phone and grabbed Hoseok’s hand which was still holding Yoongi’s phone.
Instead of apologizing, Hoseok felt like explaining himself. He didn’t want Yoongi to think he had any ill intentions. Although Hoseok doubted himself a bit.
859)
“I didn’t want to.”, Hoseok mumbled and looked at their hands.
“But I felt like as if you were lying to me.”
Hoseok could hear Yoongi’s heavy breath. He noticed before that Yoongi breathed louder through his nose.
“About what.”, Yoongi practically whispered.
860)
He was squeezing Hoseok’s hand now.
“About Jaebeom.”, Hoseok answered and he knew Yoongi knew exactly what he meant.
“Why would I lie to you?”, Yoongi asked suddenly. And considering the messages Hoseok read just minutes ago, he thought it was pretty clear.
861)
Yoongi would lie because he was still after Jaebeom and realized he could go back to him.
When Hoseok didn’t answer, Yoongi kept asking.
“What lie did I tell you?”, Yoongi asked and sounded a bit more firm now.
Hoseok smacked his lips before he finally was able to speak.
862)
“You told Jaebeom. You told him where he could find us.”, he said and suddenly he noticed how jealous he really was and sounded.
He still couldn’t stop himself from asking: “Did you set up all of this?”
At first Yoongi was looking at him blankly and then he looked down.
863)
“Give me my phone, please.”, Yoongi said and let go of Hoseok’s hand in order to hold it out. He was waiting for Hoseok to give it to him on his own.
“I want you to be honest.”, Hoseok said, refusing to let go of the phone.
He knew he was pressing too much.
864)
But he also never felt anything like this. So it was hard for him to think rational.
“Yes, I set up that we’d meet.”, Yoongi admitted and the pang in Hoseok’s heart hurt too bad.
Hoseok swallow and suddenly the tension in his body fell off of him.
865)
He slumped.
Yoongi played with him.
Maybe Hoseok should have known it.
He barely knew Yoongi in the end.
And even when Hoseok had nothing to grasp on anymore, he was still clinging to Yoongi’s phone.
866)
He didn’t have it in him to let go.
Hoseok then realized he was acting as if Yoongi cheated on him. And Yoongi wasn’t even his boyfriend.
Hoseok was about to let go. He already handed the phone over to Yoongi.
867)
And when one half of the phone touched Yoongi’s hands, he spoke again.
“But that was before I knew I wanted to spent the evening alone with you.”, Yoongi added.
And just like this, the tension was back into Hoseok’s body.
Maybe Yoongi was playing with him again.
868)
Maybe he’d laugh at him next.
But Hoseok got so much hope from just this sentence, he was looking at Yoongi with longing eyes.
But Yoongi didn’t look back at him.
Instead he grabbed the phone and started to peel himself from the sheets.
869)
He pulled up his boxer and pulled his pants on before he grabbed his bag.
Hoseok was watching him.
He was watching Yoongi leave. And he couldn’t do anything about it. Hoseok knew he fucked up.
870)
“Is that true?”, Hoseok asked then, insecure that Yoongi might lie to him again. Finally Yoongi was looking at him again. His gaze bitter and sad.
He looked straight back at Hoseok and then threw the bag over his shoulder.
871)
“Good night, Hoseok.”, Yoongi said and walked towards the door.
He opened it slowly and pulled it shut behind himself.
Hoseok listened to his soft footsteps and how Yoongi left the flat.
Their front door was louder.
Hoseok sat there. Unable to move.
872)
He should run after Yoongi. Like in on of those clichè romantic movies. But Hoseok was tired.
He never liked someone this much and he also never was so confused before.
Hoseok’s chest felt tight and he was short on breath. He didn’t know what to do.
873)
Suddenly his bedroom door opened again and it was silly of him to think Yoongi came back.
Seokjin peaked inside and looked around the room.
“Did Yoongi just leave?”, he asked and Hoseok looked over to him.
874)
They looked at each other until Hoseok’s vision blurred and a loud sob escaped his lips.
Seokjin was over in a couple steps and climbed on the mattress to hug Hoseok.
‘It’s going to be okay.’
‘Don’t worry.’
‘Everything’s fine.’
875)
Seokjin hushed Hoseok until he calmed down a bit.
He didn't stop crying though.
Therefore Seokjin rubbed his back until it was about to get light.
It was hard but Hoseok tried to tell Seokjin everything that happened that night. And his older friend listened calmly.
876)
Seokjin poured Hoseok a second bowl of his favorite cereals.
Hoseok partly wished it was whiskey instead.
His eyes were swollen from all the crying and he felt week.
He wasn’t even sure if he wanted to eat the second bowl.
877)
But when Seokjin poured him one, they’d probably sit here until he finished it.
A heavy sigh escaped Hoseok from time to time. Without any meaning really.
But he liked to imagine that it took some tension off his body.
878)
“I guess you are not in the mood for any activities today.”, Seokjin said when he peeled a peach.
“I want to die.”, Hoseok said with a thin voice and Seokjin groaned.
“Stop saying this so reckless. You are going to make me angry.”, Seokjin said and frowned at Hoseok.
879)
This time he was the one sighing.
“It’s not good to stay at home all day.”
Hoseok shook his head and buried his face in his hands.
“I’m sorry, hyung. This was supposed to be an awesome last day.”
Hoseok felt ashamed.
880)
“We need to get you out of here. Maybe we can lie in the sun a bit and refuel energy.”
Even this sounded horrible to Hoseok.
He wanted to crawl back under his blanket and sleep.
And worse. He wanted to go home.
If he could, he’d take the train back to Gwangju today.
881)
But Seokjin took a day off today and he didn’t want to waste it.
“Lying in the sun sounds great.”, Hoseok said then and poured milk into his bowl.
Seokjin placed a piece of peach besides his bowl which Hoseok picked up right away.
882)
He started nibbling on the fruit and tried to take his time.
Hoseok didn’t feel sick. He just wanted all of this to end.
Seokjin had asked him if he already texted Yoongi. But Hoseok wasn’t ready for the conversation yet.
He was unprepared before and he still was.
883)
He didn’t feel like as if he could talk to Yoongi now.
He wanted to sort out his thoughts first.
So when Hoseok finished his breakfast, he took a long shower, was able to cool down his face and dressed up comfortable.
884)
In the end he just laid down once they arrived at the Han River. The sun was tickling his skin and he felt warm and fuzzy. Better than in bed.
Seokjin didn’t say much. He read anyways and later ordered some food and drinks.
885)
Hoseok had lots of time to think and once he sun started to set, he sat up when Seokjin ate the last piece of chicken which was probably cold already.
“Hyung, I really enjoyed this week.”
Seokjin looked up to him and rolled on his belly.
886)
“I’m glad to hear that.”, he said with a soft smile.
“Next time you should take some days off so we can travel and do stuff together.”, Hoseok suggested and Seokjin smiled at this idea.
“Yes, I should do that.”, Seokjin said and nodded.
“Or I am visiting you.”
887)
Hoseok snorted. “You just want to see Jiwoo.”
Seokjin shrugged shameless before he sucked on the chicken again.
“I’m sorry today was so boring.”, Hoseok said and ripped out some grass to play with it.
Seokjin snorted.
888)
“I don’t even remember the last time I had such a nice day. I barely do stuff like this. I don’t even remember the last time I just laid here and read a book. I loved today.”
Seokjin’s warm words made Hoseok smile and he laid back down, this time facing Seokjin.
889)
He looked at him while Seokjin's eyes flew over the words on the page.
“Thank you, hyung.”, he said softly and the tiny smile on Seokjin’s lips showed how fond he was of the acknowledgements. “No need to thank me. I loved having you over.”
Hoseok felt good then.
890)
He actually had a great time in Seoul. He got to know quite a lot of people. Saw many places and made great memories.
Yoongi played an important role but their current situation didn’t change the fact that this was his best vacation so far.
He’d miss Seoul a little even.
891)
He still couldn’t wait to be back in his own bed.
“But you are going to talk to Yoongi, right?”, Seokjin said and ruined Hoseok content moment.
Hoseok frowned. He wasn’t sure.
“Maybe when I’m back in Gwangju.”, he said and heard how Seokjin closed his book.
892)
“You should talk to him while you are still in Seoul.”
Hoseok now opened his eyes and looked up to his friend.
“I don’t want to. I don’t think Yoongi wants to speak with me.”
“Why would he not want to speak to you?”, Seokjin frowned and placed the book in the grass.
893)
Hoseok haven’t received any notification from Yoongi.
No snap, no instagram, no message, nothing.
“I think he needs some time as well.”, Hoseok said and rolled on his back.
894)
“It’s not just me who needs to make up his mind. Maybe after all of this Yoongi doesn’t want to be in contact with me anymore.”
Seokjin hummed and also laid on his back to look up to the small clouds which were passing by.
895)
“I bet he knows you are not the type who usually goes through his boyfriends phone.”
Hoseok huffed a smile.
“He wasn’t my boyfriend to begin with.”, Hoseok said with a silly smile.
It was painful reality to him.
He wasn’t Yoongi’s boyfriend nor has he ever been.
896)
And it would probably stay that way.
If they met on the streets, they probably wouldn’t have paid any attention to each other.
It was a coincidence which maybe wasn’t supposed to happen.
“But I know I was way too insecure to think clear.”, Hoseok said.
897)
He didn’t try to explain himself but he realized this by himself today.
“I was so sure he’d still love Jaebeom that I didn’t even consider him liking me for real.”
“Feelings are a bitch.”, Seokjin said and made Hoseok laugh.
898)
Then both of them sat up so they could watch the sunset.
It was a calm evening. There were many more people around them but all of them where talking lowly.
“Hey there.”, someone said and Hoseok turned around to discover a face he saw before.
899)
“Namjoon! What are you doing here?”, Hoseok asked while Namjoon circled their blanket.
He then squatted down in front of them.
“I like to take walks in the evening.”, he said and smiled calmly, his dimples deep inside his cheeks.
900)
Namjoon looked over to Seokjin and nodded towards him.
Seokjin eyed the newcomer and Hoseok reacted immediately.
“That’s Yoongi’s friend.”, he said and Namjoon gasped.
“I thought I was yours too now, since you two were dating.”
901)
“We weren’t dating.”, Hoseok groaned and averted his eyes.
“Yeah sure.”, Namjoon said and then looked back at Seokjin with raised eyebrows.
“You must be Seokjin?”
Hoseok and Seokjin were equally confused.
“Yoongi talked about you alot. He told me we should meet eventually.”
902)
Seokjin’s lips parted and a soft ‘ah’ escaped his mouth.
“You are the single Yoongi was talking about.”, Seokjin said plain and made Hoseok splutter while Namjoon only grinned.
“Then you must be the hot single.”, Namjoon said.
Hoseok fake gagged and slid away slightly.
903)
“Oh please. This were Yoongi and you for three fucking weeks. Let us live!”, Seokjin complained and pushed Hoseok by the shoulder.
“We weren’t that disgusting.”, Hoseok said and Namjoon chuckled.
“Right. You were worse.”
Hoseok smiled at Namjoon dryly.
904)
“Why aren’t you with Yoongi though?”, Namjoon finally asked and looked around.
Hoseok felt weird suddenly. The mood shifted as well.
“They had an argument and now Hoseok is also a hot single.”, Seokjin spoke for him.
Hoseok glared at him before Namjoon spoke again.
905)
“Yoongi didn’t tell me you argued.”, he said and seemed to think about it for a while.
“You should probably text him then.”
Seokjin then looked at Hoseok with the ‘I told you’ gaze.
“I want to give him time to think.”, Hoseok answered and shrugged.
906)
“I don’t think he made up his mind yet.”
It was hard for Hoseok to say this. He decided to wait for tomorrow.
Yoongi knew when he’d depart. He wanted to see if Yoongi would show up or not.
“Just don’t wait too long.”, Namjoon said and stood up.
907)
He pushed back his hair and then smiled at Hoseok. “I hope we see each other again. Let’s stay in contact.”
Hoseok nodded and smiled up to him.
But when Namjoon spoke to Seokjin the smile vanished out of his face.
908)
“Pleasure meeting you.”, Namjoon said in an alluring tune before he wriggled his eyebrows at Seokjin.
Once Namjoon was long gone, Seokjin started giggling.
“He looked so silly. But kind of cute.”, he said and laid back down, obviously content with himself.
909)
“You disgust me, you predator.”, Hoseok said and looked after Namjoon again.
He thought about texting Yoongi in this moment so he unlocked his phone and looked at his last message. Still nothing from Yoongi. He couldn't do it.
910)
He quickly locked his phone again and laid down, eyes closed and dreaming.
He imagined how Yoongi would show up on the platform. How he’d hug Hoseok and beg him not to leave.
And Hoseok would stay. He’d stay forever if Yoongi wanted that.
911)
They’d kiss on the platform, tell each other how much they loved each other and laugh about how idiotic Hoseok has been.

But reality was different.
When Hoseok packed up the next morning, no message from Yoongi was on his phone.
912)
When he stood on the platform, he looked at the stairs desperately while Seokjin told him again how much he liked having him over and how much he’d miss Hoseok.
When the trained stopped on the platform, Hoseok stepped on board without anyone holding him back.
913)
And when the train departed, nobody was kissing him. He waved back at Seokjin who had tears in his eyes when he said goodbye.
When the platform ended and Hoseok was looking into nothing, Hoseok realized, Yoongi didn’t show up.
Hoseok felt like crying. But no tears were left.

Maybe Jeongguk always was fascinated by things he couldn't wrap his mind around.
And this time he didn't understand why someone would beat up the picture perfect Park Jimin.

Little did he know...
×homophobic language
×violence
×sexual tension
×fluff and domestic feelings
×hurt and angst

🌠 I'll post extra trigger warnings for strong violence or blood related stuff just to be sure☺️
