Word count: 1K+

Summary: Four grown siblings return to their childhood hometown after their father is declared to be terminal. They are forced to live under the same roof for days, along with their overbearing mother, to say their final goodbyes. It starts off nostalgic until some unresolved family issues along with an assortment of spouses, exes, and might-have-beens make things even more interesting.

A/N: Just kidding! I said third of three updates but...I had this scene that I initially was going to work into Part 9 but it didn't quite fit so now it's 8D 🤡

After you walk out the door and into the waiting van, where your brothers and sister-in-law are already waiting, Hobi doesn't linger. He walks toward the bar to check on a few more things to ensure that the place will be ready for reopening the next day.

As he looks up for a fraction of a second, he sees you climb into the van, followed by Namjoon who was right behind you. He looks away again just before the door shuts. Not long after, he feels an arm encircle his waist and a hand brushing his cheek. He turns his face to lean into the touch but recoils as soon as he realizes that it's Dara.

"Shit, sorry." He distances himself from her, remembering that Yoongi was in the same room, cleaning up.

"What?" she asks quietly, confused as to what she's done wrong. "Nobody's here and he doesn't care." She sees that Yoongi had his back turned to them. She tries to step closer to him again, but he steps back.

"I just didn’t realize you were still here. And…you know, we talked about this," he whispers, sidestepping her to pick up more empty glasses and beer bottles to put in the bin he's carrying around.

He calls out to Yoongi and tells him he can finish up on his own.

Yoongi pauses, looks at Dara, then back at Hobi. "Are you sure? I don't mind."

"Nah. You did plenty tonight, hyung. Go home and rest.” He smiles tightly.

"Alright. You’re the boss," Yoongi responds flatly. He tells Hobi that he will take out the last garbage bag in the back before heading home.

After mouthing his thanks to Yoongi, he turns to Dara. “That goes for you, too." He hopes she takes the hint and leaves him alone with his thoughts. It feels like the longest night of his life–and it was nowhere close to midnight.

Once Yoongi was out of earshot, Dara approaches Hobi again. "It's because she's here, isn't it?"

Hobi is exhausted, confused, and emotional from your intense conversation earlier. His thoughts are all over the place--old feelings, past issues...arguments that he had buried long ago have resurfaced. He wasn't in the mood to deal with Dara; he just wanted her to leave without being cruel to her.

"I'm sorry," he says.

She moves closer to him. "You don't have to apologize, Hoseok. I know...I always knew." Despite spending countless hours together during junior and senior years at the library, she knew he would never see her as more than a friend. But she was still content with whatever kindness and attention he offered.

Although she had repeatedly absolved him of any guilt, Hobi still felt as if he was taking advantage of her situation. Despite his mother's urging to leave their hometown and start somewhere else, he had chosen to stay. It didn’t matter where he went, he would still feel lonely and empty.

"It's nothing against you," he says, setting the plastic bin filled with bottles and glasses down to face her. "I wish, so badly, that I could give you what you want and need. It's not that I don't want to, I..." He shrugs his shoulders, at a loss for words. "...just can't."

She was aware of this, and he knew that she wouldn't love anyone more than her late husband. Hobi was special to her in a different way, but this arrangement was more for convenience, to fulfill a need that they couldn't find elsewhere. Despite his guilt, she had benefitted from this arrangement, too.

"I know," she responds with an achingly warm smile. "I know that when you look at me, you see somebody else.”

A wistful smile forces its way through his face. He couldn’t help but picture your body flush against his, instead of hers. Your scent, instead of hers. Your face.

And not for lack of trying, because he did try--very hard--to forget about you. Each and every time, he failed miserably.

News of your divorce was a shock to him and, truthfully, many other things could happen. He wanted to at least take a chance. Tonight’s kiss may have been impulsive but he felt something there and he knew that you felt it, too.

“I might have a window of opportunity,” he says, still feeling the ghost of your lips on his.

She cocked her head to the side, regarding him. “She’s always been the one, right?”

Hobi is still for a few seconds, but he eventually bobs his head in a nod.

“Then you’ve got to go for it,” she urges him. “And judging by the way she looked at you tonight, I can tell not much has changed for her either."

He chuckles. “I really hope so.”

"I think you know so," she replies before taking off her apron. "I also wanted to let you know that I found a permanent job in the next town over, so I can't hang around as much anymore."

Hobi's shoulders rise. "I wish I could give you a raise," he says regretfully.

She waves it off. "Just give it to Yoongi. Besides, I wanted to come by tonight to pay my respects to the family." She pauses, turning sheepish for a moment before adding, "And I was thinking that we could have a little farewell drink together, but I guess that's off the table now." She jokes.

He laughs in return, relieved that she's taking everything in stride.

As their laughter dies down, she turns serious, her eyes carrying a hint of nostalgia. "I'll never regret the time we spent together. Our conversations, the moments we shared, they were all so special to me, especially during that time when I was still grieving over Junho. You made me believe in love again, even if it was just for that short time. And for that, I'll always be grateful. Thank you for being there as a friend when I needed one the most.”

With a final kiss on his cheek, Dara walks out the door.

It's close to 2AM by the time Hobi finishes locking up then begins his long drive home--which took all but 10 minutes. When he turns the street corner to pull into the driveway, he sees a figure sitting on his front stoop.

HUGS!

Pairing: Kim Seokjin x Reader

Genre: smut

Word Count: 3.4 k

_______________________

LIST

_______________________

Summary: The black streak in your life continues to advance. You needed hugs that said, "It's okay, this will pass soon."

POV YOU

You were looking at your smashed laptop that was lying on the floor, because some idiot knocked you off your feet in a crowded subway. Damn you moaned. Problems at work and breaking up with a guy, apparently not enough for me, you chuckled, fighting back tears.

You came home completely dismantled today. This is not what you dreamed about when you decided to move to Seoul. You entered the apartment, and the smell of delicious food greeted you. The only thing that kept you going crazy was your roommate Jin. He was always in a good mood, despite the problems that arose in his life, he still smiled brightly. You envied his positivity. Why didn't anyone teach you how to deal with problems with the same bright smile, you sighed while taking off shoes.

"You come?" shouted Jin from the kitchen when he heard you come into the living room. "I'm cooking dinner, I hope you haven't to eat yet"

The cheerfulness in his voice finally finished you off. You closed your eyes, taking a deep breath, unable to hold back the tears that ran down your cheeks. Damn, you didn't want to cry, you scolded yourself. You've been crying too much for the past few months. You wiped away your tears and went into the kitchen. "Hi. No, haven't had dinner yet." You tried to sound calm.

"Great." Jin turned in your direction with a wide smile. "Are you okay?" asked Jin anxiously.

“Yeah, just some idiot broke my laptop on the subway, otherwise everything is gorgeous,” you muttered

"I'm sorry" Jin turned completely in your direction. "Do you want a drink?"

"Can I use your body" you said, and his eyes widened. You even surprised yourself with these words because they did not sound quite as innocent as in your head.

Jin put down the knife that was in his hand and turned back to you. "Yes," he said without even thinking for a second.

You walked up to him and hugged him. You snuggled up to him, wanting to dissolve at least briefly in the warmth of his body. You hugged him tighter, pressing your face against his powerful chest. He hugged you back. "It's all right," he said softly, pressing his cheek against your head. "It's been a hard day that will soon be over" he hugged you tighter, digging his fingers into your body. You exhaled loudly as you felt relieved at his words.

"Tha…" You looked up to meet his gaze to thank him, but he leaned in to press your lips. You froze in his arms in surprise as his fingers lifted your T-shirt slightly, digging into your bare skin at the waist. He lifted his head slightly when you didn't return his kiss.

"Oh…" he chuckled. "You were talking about hugs" he straightened up still hugging you tightly. "My bad" he smiled wide at you.

"I..." You stared at him with your mouth open. Oh, you clearly chose the wrong words to ask for a hug.

"Let's eat," he ran his fingers down your cheek and winked at you as if nothing had happened. He moved away from you, returning to the dinner he was cooking.

“I’m going to change,” you answered automatically, still in a stupor. You turned around and went to your room. You sat on the bed staring at the door behind which Jin was. “So he thought…” you whispered, unable to finish the sentence. You felt your cheeks turn red at the thought that he was thinking about more than just hugging. That thought made the heat in your body turn into a tight knot in the lower abdomen. You squeezed the blanket with your fingers, taking deep breaths. You need to calm down. You fell onto the bed wrapping yourself in the blanket, trying to hide from the fantasy in your head that had gone too far. You squeaked as you turned around once again and fell out of bed. You giggled, realizing that you were completely entangled in the blankets.

You heard your door open. "Um, are you okay?" Jin asked in surprise.

Excellent, you thought, realizing that you had turned into a ball of a blanket from which only your legs protruded. "Yeah, it's okay," you muttered, still trying to free yourself from the blanket's grip. "Oh.." You exhaled as Jin lifted you to your feet.

"Hi" he smiled at you as he untangled the blanket.

"Hi," you smiled sheepishly.

"Looks like a blanket attacked you," he laughed softly. "Are you sure it's safe to leave you alone with it?"

"Yes," you smiled broadly, still breathing heavily.

Jin looked at you carefully. "You're horny" he said calmly

"What?" your eyes widened.

"If you still want to use my body, just say" his gaze became seductive.

You stepped back from his words. But because of the blanket, you again lost your balance, falling to the floor. He laughed out loud. "That blanket is definitely an attack on your safety," he squatted down. Jin tugged on the blanket, pulling you closer to him. You flinched when you got too close to him.

He was still clutching the blanket, which caused his hands to be practically near your crotch. His gaze made your breathing quicken and your mouth dry. Just ask, your inner voice repeated his words over and over again. "Jin" you started but stopped yourself. You smiled pushing your arousal as far as possible "I think I can handle it myself"

"As you say," Jin replied, still smiling seductively. He removed his hand from the blanket and his fingers traced your inner thigh before he stood up. "Let's eat."

. . .

And what are you doing here, you asked yourself, standing in front of Jin's door. It's been a week since that awkward hugging moment. But that didn't save you from the erotic dreams that woke you up every night. Although there was no awkwardness between you two in communication and everything seemed to be as always, but ... there is always a but. You always knew how handsome Jin was, but you didn't care before. Now you had to stop yourself every time your thoughts took a wrong turn while looking at Jin's body. Do you really need to look for a new home... Oh you need a drink.

Damn, Jin, why did you even cross the line, you muttered as you turned towards the kitchen.

“I didn't ask you to draw a line between us.” Jin's quiet voice made you jump in surprise.

“Oh my god… you scared me to death!” you growled at him. You slid down the wall, sitting on the floor. "I hate it when you do that!" you scolded him, trying to calm down

"I hate it when you're talking to my door instead of talking to me." He stood up from the couch and walked over to you. He took your hands and pulled you up from the floor.

You stared at him, realizing that you've spoke aloud your thoughts. He let go of your hands when he made sure you were standing. He turned and walked back to the couch. Just now you saw a glass on the coffee table next to a half-empty bottle of whiskey. "Jin,..." you started to speak, but he raised his hand to stop you.

"Not today" Jin shook his head. He walked over to the kitchen table and picked up an empty glass. "Let's just have a drink" he said as he walked back to the couch.

"You don't want to talk to me, but you don't mind drinking with me," you chuckled, sitting down opposite him.

"I want to talk to you" he put a glass in front of you and poured whiskey. "I don't want to sort things out tonight. These are different things." He smiled as he lifted his glass.

"Fair enough," you shook your head as you took a sip. "Are you okay? You don't often drink alone," you looked at him, trying to find an answer.

"Pass," he waved his hand. "Why aren't you sleeping at a time like this?"

"Pass" you chuckled.

"Hmmmm" he furrowed his brows, making you giggle. "That way we won't have a conversation."

"And what shall we do?"

"I'm worried that you've started to far away from me, and I just heard why" you looked at him in surprise before realizing that was the answer to your question why he drink alone.

You took a long sip of whiskey. "I'm having trouble sleeping because of erotic dreams with your appearance," you muttered, looking at the glass in your hand.

“Is that the reason why you started spending less time with me?” Jin asked

"Yes," you shook your head.

"Are you worried about having sex with me or dating with me?" Jin's question made you look at him. You were surprised at how calm he was now.

"Both" you leaned back on the armchair behind you.

“You can say that we are dating because we spend all our free time together. Hardly anything will change" he shrugged. "Although something will be added" Jin smiled, making you blush.

"Jin..." you breathed out

"What? Am I wrong"

"Didn't you want to avoid sorting things out tonight" you snorted as you put your empty glass on the table.

“Seems it was a plan. But when our plans were working flawlessly" Jin refilled your glass.

"You're trying to get me drunk so you can sleep with me" you stared at the almost full glass of whiskey in front of you.

"Do I really have to get you drunk so I can have sex with you." He looked at you in surprise, tilting his head to the side.

He laughed softly when you just took a sip of whiskey instead of answering. You put down your glass and stood up. It's too dangerous to be alone with him now. "Goodnight Jin" you said quickly and practically ran to your room.

And what were you thinking about, scolding yourself, climbed under the blanket. You froze when the door to your room opened. You silently looked at Jin who undressed, throwing his t-shirt and shorts on the floor. "Did you mix up the bedrooms?" You asked almost in a whisper, unable to stop staring at his body.

"Today your bed looks much more comfortable than mine," he replied, crawling under your covers.

"Jin!" you squeaked when he hugged you, pressing your back against his chest.

"I'm going to sleep!" he muttered in your ear, sending goosebumps through your body. "At least today"

And how are you supposed to sleep when his fingers dug into your body, making you melt with excitement.

“It helps if you stop squirming your juicy booty all over my cock,” he practically growled as he squeezed your thigh.

You giggled at his words. “I'm just trying to get comfortable,” you mumbled.

“I'll pretend that I believe you,” Jin chuckled as he let go of you.

“Did you seriously come to sleep here?” you asked when his breathing became calm after a while.

"Yes," he sighed sleepily into your hair. “I'll do everything else in the morning when I'm sober. If I were you, I would also choose to sleep."

Everything inside you turned over at his words. And how do you survive until the morning. You did not even notice how the warmth of his body relaxed your body, plunging you into darkness.

POV Jin

He hasn't slept this well in a long time, he thought, opening his eyes as the sun filled the room. He smiled, he wanted to start like this every morning. You are half naked in his arms. Perfect, he smiled broadly. He pulled away when he felt that he smelled of alcohol. It wasn't part of his plan for the perfect morning with you. And why didn't he think about it, although it was true, he was drunk. He carefully got out of bed and quickly made his way to the bathroom. He looked at the time, it was too early, great he had time for a quick shower.

He stood with his eyes closed turning the shampoo into voluminous foam. He smiled to himself as he thought, you'll flinch if he ran his wet hair across your skin. He had waited too long for this day.

“I wonder what you're thinking about, since you're so turned on.” Your voice came from behind him, taking him by surprise. He abruptly opened his eyes, but instead received only pain from the foam that got into his eyes.

"Crap!" He rubbed his eye, making everything worse. You laughed at his behavior. He froze as you hugged him from behind, pressing against his back. "Oh my God!" exhaled Jin resting his hands on the wall in front of him, feeling your bare skin on his back.

“Wanted to be the only one who smells delicious?” you asked, running your nose down his back.

“Fuck,” he growled, still struggling with the foam that made it impossible to open his eyes.

“Um…do you need help with this?” You laughed as you turned him in your direction. You ran your hand over his face to remove the foam. You gently washed the shampoo from his hair, causing him to smile broadly. “Is that better?” You asked when he was finally able to open his eyes.

"Much better!" his eyes wandered over your body. He pinned you against the wall, greedily pouncing on your lips. His hands gripped your waist, lifting you onto his arm. But he moaned when you squeezed his hips around his waist. “Fuck,” he moaned breaking the kiss as the head of his cock pressed against your pussy.

“Oh, Jin…” You moaned as he thrust his cock into you, thrusting slightly inside. He growled out of you. He wanted to see and enjoy every moment that happened. And the shower was definitely a bad place for that. "Jin?" you giggled in surprise, as he pulled you out of the bathroom after him without even thinking to wipe the water off yours bodies.

“That's better,” he chuckled as he pushed you into his bed. He slowly ran his fingers over your body, enjoying the view of your body.

“Did I tell you that you have a gorgeous body?” you smiled broadly at him.

“You should have said this a week ago, and not suffer from dissatisfaction,” he winked at you.

He spread your hips wide. He bit his lip at the sight of your wet pussy. He ran his fingers through your folds, opening them up. He lightly pressed his finger against your entrance, groaning at the wet sound.

“Have you decided to play doctor?” you asked, kneeling on the mattress, watching him.

"Yes!" a wide smile spread across his face. “I want to check what items this sweet hole can accept”

“Oh lord.” You collapsed onto the bed with your hands over your face as you blushed at his words. He laughed at your reaction.

“Don't worry, I'll have time for that another time. Today, I plan to use only my body.” He slowly dipped his finger into you, enjoying your heat. He moaned softly as you squeezed his finger inside you. “Do it again,” he groaned, enjoying the sensation. “Oh god…”

“Jin” you breathed out his name as he ran his tongue over your pussy.

“You're so delicious,” Jin moaned before thrusting his tongue into your pussy. Your moan made his cock twitch. He ate your pussy greedily, enjoying every moan that escaped you. He pushed into you with two fingers, stealing his tongue against your clit. It drove him crazy the way your body wriggled in his arms. He moaned loudly along with you as the hot liquid ran over his fingers. “You are so beautiful when you cum,” he moaned, leaving gentle kisses on your skin moving up your body. Your back arched into his caresses as he pressed his lips onto your nipple. “Fuck,” he moaned as he squeezed your boobs. He quickly knelt over you, smiling slyly at you. “Perfect,” he moaned as his cock collided between your boobs. He growled as you raised your head and licked the tip of his cock. He continued to push between your squeezed tits, touching your tongue. The heat went down his back, he could not decide if he enjoys the sensation or the lewd look of him fucking your tits.

Jin let go of your tits while squeezing your hair tight. Your mouth was too seductive to ignore. He moaned as you ran your tongue over his cock before sliding your lips over it. He closed his eyes completely dissolving in sensation as you each time sucked his cock deeper into your mouth. “Oh gosh..” he breathed out, bracing his hands on the mattress as you took his cock full length. Your fingers dug into his thighs as he thrust hard into your mouth. He tried to control himself, gently fucking your mouth. But every time his cock' head was squeezed by your throat, he pushed deeper with force, making you gasp.

“Jin!” you pushed him away panting as he squeezed your hair, preventing you from pulling away.

“I'm sorry,” Jin whispered as he wiped away the tears that were running down your cheeks. “Looks like I got too carried away,” he leaned in, kissing your lips. He definitely needs to learn to control himself, otherwise he can harm you. You're a complete jerk, he scolded himself mentally.

"What a pity that I need oxygen" you giggled. “It was so arousing that I almost cum from you fucking my mouth” you ran your fingers over his cock, making him moan.

He smiled broadly when he felt relieved by your joke. “I don’t like the word ‘almost’.” He giggled, turning you over onto your stomach. He brought you to your knees, lifting your butt high. He ran his fingers down your wet pussy before leaving a slap on your buttocks. “I want you to cum every time I'm inside you!” He slapped his cock over your crotch, making you moan. “Fuck,” he moaned as he slowly slid all the way into your pussy.

“Oh my…” You breathed into the sheets as he pulled out and pushed his full length into you again.

He laughed softly. He leaned forward, running his tongue along your back. “That's right, baby. I am completely yours!” he said in a low voice giving a hard thrust.

He squeezed your thighs as he continued to slowly sink deep into you. He chuckled as your hips began to move towards him due to too gentle thrusts. He gave a hard thrust, making you moan louder. “Does my baby like to be fucked hard?” he chuckled. He squeezed your shoulder forcing you to get up on all fours.

“Yes, daddy,” you moaned sweetly.

“You don’t have to ask me twice,” Jin laughed, increasing his speed. He breathed out, letting himself lose control. The loud sound of thrusts melted his mind into pleasure. “Fuck,” he growled as you began to squeeze tighter around his cock. “Not so fast baby, I haven't enjoyed enough your pussy yet"

He fucked you mercilessly, forcing you to balance on the edge from pushing too hard. He didn't want to let go of that pleasure so quickly. He is completely lost in time. Pleasure erased all boundaries. The heat of pleasure burned through him completely, making sweat run down his body. The way his name came out of your mouth turned everything inside him upside down. He covered your clit with his fingers allowing you to be guided into your orgasm. He barely restrained himself while keep thrust into you as you came, squeezing around his cock. He rested his hands on the mattress making several deeper thrusts into you. He came out of you, grabbing his cock. His hand moved quickly down his length as his cum covered your ass and back. He laughed as he fell down beside you.

You smiled broadly at him as you ran your fingers through his damp hair. “You made a mess,” you giggled.

“I definitely did!” He smiled proudly, looking at your body covered in his cum. He raised up leaning on his elbow. “Though I like the mess you left better” he ran his fingers over your crotch rubbing the liquid that was dripping from your pussy onto his sheets. “And why couldn’t you join me in the shower a week ago?” he asked, leaving a kiss on your shoulder.

"Believe it or not, I've been asking myself this question for the past few hours again and again," you giggled, winking at him.

A/N: Third of three mini-updates! This chapter contains callbacks from the supplement, Sunshine. I think(?) I've added enough context to this chapter so that you wouldn't have to read it to get the references but you can read it if you feel that the gaps are too wide.

Thank you to my loves, @internetjunkdrawer and @itdoesntmatterwhy for reading through this angst-fest. I appreciate you both 💜

A/N2: There are some elements of The Notebook here that I adopted because…it’s one of my fave *exes to lovers* stories 🥹

You sidle up to Namjoon, who was hunched over at a booth all by himself, scribbling some words over some cocktail napkins.

“You know, Yoongi-oppa will be pissed that you’re littering.” You fidgeted at a balled-up napkin.

“Well, it’s good I’m best friends with the owner then,” he deadpans without looking up at you.

You scoff, then begin to unfurl the piece closest to you.

“My love, don't look back anymore / Behind the clearly mixed memories / These remaining lives stay like a bonus,” you read out loud. “New song?”

He hummed noncommittally. “I don’t know yet. I’m just writing whatever comes to mind.”

You picked up another crumpled-up napkin to take a look. “You can't love someone like I do / That's all I can say to you.” You blew out a breath. “Oof…is this the makings of your own version of Beyonce’s ‘Lemonade’?”

He chuckled. “Well, as it happens, life is currently giving me a lot of lemons so…”

You hold back a laugh upon hearing his answer. “Will you record it?”

He snorted. “If my usual guy can’t do it, I’ll probably do the guide myself.”

“No, I mean–will you record it for yourself?"

He pauses his scribbling and finally looks up at you incredulously as if you’d just given him a very complicated math problem.

“What? You have a good voice. You’re signed to a record label, technically…”

“Sure, YN. And how many drinks have you had?” He cocked an eyebrow at you.

You roll your eyes at him. "Relax! I'm good. And let's not change the subject!" Turning your body sideways to face him, you add, "I've heard your demos before. You've got that raspy voice thing going on that's very popular with the ladies," and snort.

His mouth twitches and grows into a shy smile, his dimple deepening. "Thanks... I guess." He knows you would never give him a backhanded compliment. Before Victoria came along, you were always one of the first people he would call whenever he had an idea for a new song. Even though you weren't as good with words as he was, he always said that you made the perfect brainstorming partner.

He begins to gather the handful of napkins and stack them in the order he intended the words to flow. After pocketing them, he pauses and puckers his lips.

“Can I actually have those back?” He points to the two discarded pieces that you read words from. You pick them up and hand them back to him; after which, he mouths his thanks.

“Will you be adding those to that secret mixtape that you’ve been working on forever?”

“Maybe.” He follows his response with an enigmatic smirk.

For years, Namjoon had talked about releasing a mixtape of songs that he had saved just for himself. Every now and then, he would unearth it from the depths of his hard drive, make some tweaks to the instruments or vocals, listen to it again, make more edits, and when he had poured out all of his neuroses into his tracks, he would close it out, not giving it another thought for another few months.

“So,” he asks, attempting to change the subject. “Where did he jet off to this time?”

You hesitate as Namjoon didn't have to say who he was referring to. Even though the rest of your family already knew about what you and Sam had decided, telling Namjoon felt like a difficult task. It wasn't just because he had resented your relationship early on, but also because part of you wanted to prove him wrong...and you managed to do that for a few years.

It was difficult because not only did you fail, but you also feared that Namjoon would take this as a moment of vindication.

"Kuala Lumpur," you said, taking a long swig of your drink and turning your face away from Namjoon. After allowing a few seconds for the drink to settle in your stomach, you clear your throat and decide that now was as good a time as any other. “When he comes back, we’re meeting with lawyers present.”

You and Sam had agreed to explain everything to the kids when he returned from his trip in two weeks. You wanted to buy some time for them…a few more days of innocent bliss.

You turned to look at Namjoon again. Apart from the slight crease between his eyebrows, the rest of his face was calm. That crease was still telling. It was the expression he wore while bracing himself for all the facts that he was about to bless you with.

It was also the same face that your father used to make.

But those litanies of factoids and inner thoughts would never make it past Namjoon’s lips. Instead, he quietly takes a sip of his whisky again before speaking.

Putting down his glass, he says, "I was wondering if you were ever going to open up about what was going on between you and Sam. I didn't want to push because I figured you weren't ready. So, I thought I'd wait patiently until you were."

Your eyes watered as guilt consumed you in the past few months, even as he bawled in front of you with everything going on in his own marriage. "I'm sorry, oppa—"

"You don't have to apologize. You never have to when it comes to things like this. We're both adults," he said, consoling you.

You pursed your lips, regret still on your face.

"Although I hope you'll forgive me for my childish thoughts about this, I'm a little upset that you couldn't trust me. I mean," he chuckled bitterly, "have you not seen how my marriage ended?"

"It's just that I know how you've always felt about Sam," you stammered, your shoulders rising defensively. Your eyes flit downward as you turn away from him again.

"Are you sure that's not just your pride talking?" he raises a questioning eyebrow at you.

Taken aback by his skepticism, you pause. But then you remember the promise you made to yourself years ago. You were going to make it work with Sam, no matter what.

"I'll admit, some of it was pride," you concede. "I just thought he and I could get through it."

Namjoon's hesitation was evident in his eyes as he regarded you. Eventually, he let out a deep sigh. "I know that Sam and I haven't had the greatest relationship, and I know it's caused a rift between you and me. That was selfish, and I'm really sorry."

You reach over to grab his free hand while the other clutches his glass. "I never held that against you."

“Yeah, but I know that we never really talked about it. I saw how he took care of you and the kids. For what it’s worth, I respected him for that.“

You smile ruefully. “Thank you. That means something. Unfortunately, Sam and I had deeper issues that counseling just couldn’t fix.”

His face falls. “Still–”

“Can we just leave all that behind?” you calmly interrupt. “Our relationships with our spouses may not have worked out, but things will always be good between us, right?”

He looks at you silently for a moment, then sighs softly, a small smile creeping up to his lips. “Always.”

You smile back and wrap your arm around his elbow. Tilting your head sideways, you lean on his shoulder. He mirrors your action, tilting his head and touching the crown of your head.

“You know, when we were kids, I always hated it whenever you copied everything that I did.”

You playfully smack his arm. “Excuse you? Who’s copying whom? My marriage has been falling apart for years, so I don’t know what you're talking about.”

“I filed for divorce first,” he retorts.

You frown at him for a second, but since can’t think of a quick comeback, you stick your tongue out cheekily at him instead.

He throws his head back in laughter. "Not that I needed further confirmation to know that Jooni is in fact your daughter," he chortles.

You give him another playful shove, and you both fall into fits of laughter.

"God, is it weird that we're laughing about this? What would Dad say?"

Namjoon sighs, then turns pensive. "I think he'd pour us both shots and say, 'Cheer up, guys! At least you didn't die'."

Your mouth falls open in shock, and you stare at each other. After a few beats of silence, you both start cackling again.

The joke would have been very on-brand for your father. He always had a way with words and knew the right ones to say in any given situation.

"If you're not laughing, you're crying, right?" he says.

Not that you needed further confirmation that Namjoon was, in fact, your father’s son.

******

Taehyung walks Eunhae out to the parking lot. The chilly air hits them both as they step outside.

“Are you sure you’re good to drive?” Taehyung asks, concerned.

Eunhae smiles reassuringly. “I had one drink over an hour ago and my hotel’s just right down the street.”

“Alright. Thanks for coming out,” Taehyung says. He sinks his hands in his pockets as he lingers for a moment, reluctant to let her go.

She gives him a small smile in return. “Thanks for having me.”

Taehyung stands on the curb, watching her fish her keys out of her purse. The spot she parked at was a little dark and she was having trouble. He walks up to her and switches on the flashlight in his phone to help. While she rummages through her things, he can't help but notice the way her hair falls softly over her face and her scent wafts through the air.

She’s grateful for the extra light, only to see a big hole at the bottom of her purse’s lining. She puts her hand inside and feels around until she finds her keys. She turns to thank Taehyung, but he's standing too close to her. She remembers the night before when they were just as close. She feels a shiver run through her as she notices the way he's looking at her. He leans in, but she pulls away, feeling a rush of emotions.

“Uh–t-thanks, Tae. I…I think I have everything I need.” She stutters.

Taehyung frowns a little, but he blinks it away. "Sure. Happy to help," he mutters, kicking himself for not being more confident.

Eunhae unlocks her car quickly but as she is about to get into the driver's seat she stops when she hears Taehyung blurt out, "I need them."

Puzzled by his sudden outburst, she turns to face him. "Sorry, what?"

You previously expressed concerns about him not defining his relationship with Eunhae, but he dismissed them. Tonight, during their spirited conversation, he was reminded of it again. He couldn’t just sit back and wait until he got back to the city without bringing it up to Eunhae.

“The labels – I need them," he answered, clearly having had a change of heart since then.

“Tae–”

"I know I said it didn't matter to me before, but I don't feel that way anymore," he admits. "I'd be lying to myself if I said I was still okay with this,” he gestures at the space between them. “It's just not what I want."

She looks at him closely. Truthfully, she had sensed a shift in their relationship. Under normal circumstances, she would never go out of her way to drive to a small town just to spend time with a guy and his family if he was ‘just a good friend with whom she occasionally slept with’.

“What do you want?” She waits for him to speak.

After a short silence, he took a deep breath and asked a question that had been on his mind for a while: "Is this going anywhere? Whatever this is between us?"

She closes her eyes briefly before answering. "Don't answer a question with a question, Taehyung," she scolds him gently.

Taehyung looked down at his hands, fidgeting nervously. "I just want to be sure," he said after a moment.

Eunhae's heart sank a little at his words, but she didn't let it show. She was familiar with his cautious and indecisive nature, which was holding her back. She wanted to protect herself, especially her heart.

"You always say that. Every time you do something or make a decision, you say, 'I just want to be sure.' Is it because you actually want to be sure, or because you're unsure of yourself?"

He paused. His family always said that he approached everything carefully. He couldn't help but wonder if he was really unsure of himself or if he was just a serial overthinker.

But then his father’s words come flooding back to him: Make a decision. And deciding not to decide doesn’t count!

“What if…what if we actually gave this a try? You know, a relationship?”

She sighs in mild exasperation. “Tae, we’ve talked about this. We said—”

“I know,” he interrupts softly. “I know what I said but lately, I feel differently and I just thought I’d take a chance and find out whether you might be willing to do that, too?”

Eunhae puffed out her cheeks and blew out a shaky breath. “Look, maybe we should wait until we get back to the city. You’re going through a lot. You’ve had a few drinks, you’re emotional—”

"I'm aware of all that," Taehyung acknowledges. "And I want you to know that I would never force you to do something that you don't want to do. It’s just that," he pauses and bites down on his lower lip, "I guess I'm wondering if maybe this is something you also want?”

Eunhae grew tired of getting disappointed in her past relationships, so she decided to focus on herself after moving to the city. However, meeting Taehyung changed everything. The more time she spent with him, the more she realized he was different. She started opening up and being vulnerable around him. Despite trying to distance herself, her feelings for him only grew stronger during their last night together in the city. Not only did those feelings linger during her time with him and his family in his hometown, but they also deepened.

Her pulse begins to race as she tries to come to terms with how she feels. With some hesitation, she finally whispers, "I'm scared.”

Her admission makes Taehyung’s heart squeeze, giving him a glimmer of hope. He chuckles wryly, understanding her apprehension. "And you think I'm not?" he replies.

As they stand in silence, Eunhae couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions–excitement, fear, and uncertainty.

"I feel like I'm saying it all wrong and I'm fucking this up--" he says, his voice trailing off. The words seem to catch in his throat, and he swallows hard before he continues.

"No," she interrupts him, stepping closer until she is standing right in front of him. She takes his face gently in her hands, tilting it up so that their eyes meet. "You're not fucking anything up. You're doing just fine," she reassures him softly with a warm and sincere voice.

With that, he feels the tension in his body start to ease. He wraps his hands gently around hers. "If you're okay with it, can we talk some more in the morning?"

She smiles at him, her eyes crinkling at the corners. "Of course," she says softly. "I'll be here." As she speaks, he feels a sense of comfort wash over him, a feeling that everything is going to be okay between them.

She turns around to get back in her car but he stops her again. “Yeah?”

He steps closer and takes her hand. He brings it up to his lips and kisses the underside of her wrist. His lips touching her skin sends shivers down her spine. Pulling him closer, she tenderly kisses him. She sighs in contentment, as if eagerly anticipating this moment just as much as he was.

Minutes later, he watches her car drive away, and her taillights fade into the dark night. He smiles to himself, envisioning a future together and the possibilities that lie ahead.

******

You excuse yourself from a few friends whom you were catching up with to return a work call. Although your managers and colleagues sympathized, you also left abruptly to be with your family, and had only been working intermittently in the last week.

There was still work to be done, and you didn't mind checking in. You could have waited until tomorrow to answer your colleague's question, but instead, you stepped outside the bar to stand in a quiet corner by the dumpsters, away from a couple of Hobi's kitchen staff who were smoking on the patio.

"Are you sure you've got it?" you ask your colleague on the other end of the line, prompting them to ask any further questions.

As you listen to your colleague's assurance, you are unaware that Hobi is walking out of the side door, clutching two full garbage bags in his hands.

"Great, thanks. And please tell everyone that my family appreciates the flowers and sympathy card. Have a good night," you say before hanging up.

Your phone pings as you pull it away from your ear, signaling a new email alert from Sam. You open the attached document to find that it’s a petition for divorce. Sam adds in his message that his lawyer advised him to act quickly to avoid administrative costs. This only adds to your disappointment and frustration, as you were supposed to figure out all the logistics when he got back.

Guess the plan’s changed again.

As the reality of the situation sinks in, you shake your head gently. Even though you both decided to end the marriage, it still sucks to see it written on paper.

Feeling overwhelmed and frustrated, take a few deep breaths to try to keep it together. Exhale and allow yourself a moment to feel the emotions that are starting to consume you. You can feel your throat tightening as you try to hold back the tears, but eventually, they start to fall.

“Fuck,” you muttered under your breath, doubling over, your hands on your knees. It’s okay to feel this way, you remind yourself. It’s perfectly normal to have moments of weakness…have a little cry before you rejoin the others.

“Are you okay?”

Hearing his voice, you quickly wipe off your tears. Turning your head, you see Hobi with a curious expression, making you feel slightly embarrassed.

“Oh, hey,” you force a smile. “I’m okay. Just…needed some air, that’s all.” You wonder how long he’d been standing there and how much he's seen.

He stands there for a few seconds, regarding you. Then, he nods sympathetically. “I get it.”

The guys who were smoking call out to their boss and Hobi briefly acknowledges them, thanking them for all their help tonight.

Hobi turns to you, and you both stare at each other. A sob escapes you, and he quickly rushes to your side, embracing you tightly. You bury your face in his chest and cry, feeling safe in his arms as you ride out all of the pent-up emotions you had in you. His steady heartbeat against your cheek is a small comfort in the midst of your pain.

“Shhh, it’ll be okay,” he whispers softly. “I know it doesn’t seem like it right now but it will be. After some time, it’ll hurt less and less.”

As you listen to his words, you can't help but feel a sense of irony. How can he know that everything will be okay? How can he promise that the pain will lessen with time?

“Is that what you told yourself?” You ask when you lift your head up.

He furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. “I…I’m not sure I understand.”

Hobi suffered the loss of his father a few years ago, which is where his sentiment is coming from. However, after consuming several drinks and experiencing exhaustion and grief, you decide to bring up old, unfinished business.

You push off him and take a step back. “Did you tell yourself that—about us—when you left? Because that’s what I kept telling myself when you walked out. And you know what? It didn’t really work out for me.” Not only were you being childish but you were also projecting.

“YN—“

“Why would you do that? How could you leave me?”

He is dumbstruck by your sudden attack. This was not how he pictured the conversation going. "I left you? Are you serious right now?" he asks incredulously.

You shoot him a wry look. "I'm pretty sure you walked out that door, Hoseok," you say, your voice laced with frustration and anger.

Hoseok lets out a humorless laugh. "Because you told me to leave!" he retorts, his voice bitter.

The memory of him leaving is seared into your mind, yet he seems to have forgotten everything else that led up to it.

"I thought that after everything we went through, you would stick it out just a little bit more, for me!"

"I did!" he yells indignantly before catching himself. Losing his temper won't solve anything. He takes a deep breath to calm himself down. "It's just... I had a moment of weakness and needed to figure things out," he explains. "Walking out on you was the most bone-headed move I ever made. I regretted it the second I got home. I was fucking miserable!"

"But you still left me," you whimper pathetically. You're not sure what you hope to achieve.

"I came back," he whispers.

“When?” you ask unconvinced, struggling to process the fact that he had returned without your knowledge. In fact, he came back a month after, during which time you had hastily moved out of the apartment you shared. You had temporarily moved in with Namjoon until you found something more permanent. It was also during this gap that you met Sam.

“Did Namjoon know?” you ask, desperate for answers.

“Nobody knew,” he responds, his voice barely above a whisper. “I wanted to surprise you so I waited by the coffee shop across from Namjoon’s place. But then…I saw you with…him.”

You stare at him incredulously. “And you didn’t think to approach me?”

He looks down at his feet, his voice soft. "He made you laugh," he says, ignoring your question. "I used to do that, you know?" He had wanted nothing more than to beg for your forgiveness, to comfort you, and make you smile again. Instead, he couldn't help but think back to the memory burned into his brain: you with your bloodshot eyes and tear-stained cheeks.

“So I went home with my tail between my legs. Then one day, Joon told me that you were getting married. Do you know what that day was like for me?”

"I think I might have an idea," you mutter in a smart-ass manner.

"No, YN! You don't know half of it! Do you know what it's like to have your airway cut off? Huh? Do you know what it feels like to desperately gasp for air so you won't feel like you're going to die?"

“You say that as if you were the only one who felt like dying that day!” You sobbed, feeling some regret.

“And yet you still married him!”

Hobi didn't know that you married Sam because you got pregnant. Sam wanted to be responsible and proposed to you. It wasn't ideal and not what you pictured for yourself. The fact was that your baby needed their father, and you were trying to do right by your child.

"It's the money, isn't it? You married him because he had some big-shot city job raking in tons of cash?"

His accusation stings you. "Is that what you think of me? After all these years, that's your perception of me?"

“Look, I get it. I get the appeal,” Hobi says. “He was successful; how could I compete with that? I’m just the small-town guy, the boy who lived next door. What do I have to offer?”

"Really, Hobi? Self-deprecation? That's great," you sarcastically interject.

"I would have loved to keep you for myself, to hold onto you, but that would have been unfair." His dad had also fallen ill shortly after he returned home. "At least you got to live your dream. You got to marry the guy meant for you, and you had a family together. If I were in his place, I would have just held you back. If I had been in his place, your dreams would have remained just that—dreams."

All the talk about Sam being ‘the guy meant for you’ was giving you a headache. Exasperated and tired, you snapped, "If you wanted to be in his place, you should have just done that to begin with!" With that, you abruptly walked away from him.

Taken aback, he felt a flash of déjà vu from the past - the day he drove you home after your old high school boyfriend dumped you. He squeezed his eyes shut and groaned. This was not how he wanted the conversation to go. "Sunshine, wait!" he called out.

But his term of endearment only riled you up further. You turned your head slightly and yelled over your shoulder, "Stop calling me that!"

"Why?" He asks.

You stop and turn around, seething. "Because I don't like it!"

"You're a shitty liar, you know that?" he shoots back.

You jerk your head in disgust. "And you're a smug asshole, Jung Hoseok," you spit out.

You turn to leave, but he yells after you, "YN, come on. Let's talk about this, please?"

"No!" Fucking nerve he has.

He puffs out his chest and shouts, "If you keep walking away from me, then I hate you!"

If Yoongi didn't have the speaker volumes all the way up, an audience would be gathering around you right now. You turn around and glare at him. "Oh really? You hate me?"

"Yes, I hate you! And I especially hate that after all this time, you still walk away from arguments just so you can get the last word."

You scoff. "Wow. Nice. This was exactly what I needed to hear from you tonight," you say sarcastically before walking away once again.

"See? It's true! You always get the last word, and that's because your dad and brothers always treated you like a princess. Well, I'm done with that!"

You square your jaw and scowl at his audacity. "Oh, you're done?" You mock him.

"Yeah, I'm done. So done!"

Slowly, he advances toward you. "I'm done thinking about whether you get enough sleep or if you work too much and forget to eat. I'm done wondering if Sam cooks for you. And when you're sick? Oh my god--especially when you get sick! You get so whiny! Does he make you soup? Does he..." he represses a growl. "Fuck it! I don't want to think about all of that anymore. I'm done with these thoughts of you filling my brain night and day."

The raw emotion in his outburst sobers you up. You believed that he forgot about you, but instead, he has been holding onto memories of you all this time. Memories that have kept him up at night, replaying in his mind like an endless loop.

”I’m done.” He says softly.

As seconds pass, his face softens and he continues to stare at you.

You try to respond, but the words get stuck in your throat. Instead, you throw your arms around him in a tight embrace, holding onto him for dear life. You feel the warmth of his body against yours, and for a moment, all the anger you had slowly fades.

After a few moments, Hobi gently pulls away, his hands still on your back. He looks down at you, his eyes softening as he sees your tears. He wipes them away with his thumb, his touch gentle and comforting.

As he cups your cheeks in his hands and gazes at you, you can't help but feel a sense of longing. You tilt your chin up slightly. He's unsure at first, afraid that he might be crossing a boundary. You stroke his cheekbone wordlessly to assure him. You lean in closer.

He gives in and closes the gap between your lips.

The kiss is soft at first, tentative, but then it deepens, and you lose yourselves in the sensation, feeling his arms wrap around you as you savor the moment. Your pulse races as his lips move against yours, and you can't remember the last time you felt passion like this.

“Hobah, are you–”

You jump in surprise at Yoongi's voice from behind. You and Hobi quickly back away from each other, turning around and hoping Yoongi didn't notice how flustered you were.

"I was just coming back in, hyung!" Hobi says in a panic. "What's up?" His hand creeps behind his neck, rubbing it nervously while trying to sneak glances at you.

"Oh," Yoongi says, trying to hide his amusement. "I was gonna ask you something but it’s not urgent.”

With a slight nod, Yoongi disappears through the side door again, leaving you and Hobi standing there, worried about how much he saw...or if he saw anything at all.

Not long after, the front door opens and Namjoon appears. "There you are!"

You jump again. "What? I wasn't doing anything," you say anxiously.

"I didn't say you were," Namjoon says slowly. "Listen, we should probably let Hoseok know—Oh, you're here too?" he says, looking at both of you skeptically.

"What is it? What do you want?" Your tone is suspiciously aggressive.

Namjoon squints for a second but decides not to ask why you were acting weird. "Okay, chill,” he chuckled softly. “I was just gonna say, it’s getting late and Jin-hyung doesn’t want to stay out too long since Yoojung-noona isn’t 100% yet, so he’s asking me to round everybody up."

Hobi is standing there like a deer in headlights--the same look he had when Namjoon decided to confront both of you after catching you kissing back in high school.

"Great, I'll just go get my purse." You excuse yourself hastily and turn to head back inside.

Hobi stands there, unsure of what to do. Namjoon asks, “Is she okay? What did–”

“Nothing happened,” he says too quickly. “I mean, she’s okay, I think. We were just talking and…things got a little emotional. I…I was trying to comfort her,” he tries to explain.

Namjoon’s eyebrow twitches for a second, but his expression turns somber. “I appreciate you being there for her…you know, even after everything that’s happened.”

Hobi nods. Namjoon was initially upset with Hobi for moving back home without you, but what could he do? You were both adults, and your father had already scolded both of you separately. Namjoon decided to help you get back on track as much as he could.

Standing next to his friend, Namjoon takes a deep breath. "Who would have thought, huh? Two divorces in our family. First me, and now YN," he says, shaking his head.

Hobi's mouth falls open. He knew about Namjoon and Vee's divorce, but he was unaware of yours. He is unsure how to react. In a span of minutes, he confronted you about your past, lashed out at you, and you kissed.

He couldn’t help but summarize it in the most ironic way he could think of. “I’m sure that wasn’t in your dad’s bingo card,” he attempts to say in jest to mask his shock.

Namjoon chuckles softly, appreciating the joke but completely unaware of the multiple connotations behind the remark. "Thanks for tonight.”

“Of course,” he answers before the two hug. “Love you, bro,” Namjoon says, patting his friend’s back gently.

******

You and your brothers bid farewell to the remaining guests. Naya embraces you warmly, and you promise to have dinner together one of these weekends. Jimin has decided to leave his car behind and take a cab home instead.

Your brothers exchange hugs with Hobi, thanking him profusely for hosting the celebration. They start walking out the door and towards the van.

Finally, it's your turn to say goodbye to your host. You come up behind Taehyung, who seems to be feeling better. You make a mental note to ask him about it later.

After thanking and hugging Yoongi, he clears his throat loudly and excuses himself to wipe some tables.

"Thanks again for tonight," you say quietly, the memory of him kissing you still nagging at you.

"You're welcome. It was a no-brainer for me," he replies.

You smile awkwardly before embracing him. While he holds you tightly in his arms, he whispers, "I'd do anything for your family...especially for you, Sunshine."

Your heart wrenches. Even after the hurtful things you've said to him, you're not sure you deserve his kindness.

As the van pulls out of the parking lot, you look through one of the windows and spot Hobi by the bar putting away some beer bottles, and to your surprise, Dara comes up behind him and caresses his cheek.
