Tumblr media
Nothing made you happier than a warm spring day. Something about the beautiful blue sky, the temperature slowly rising with a cool breeze while seeing the first hints of green after a dreary winter made you smile from ear to ear. You always took advantage of a wonderful spring day and could stay outside from sunrise to sunset. And today was no exception to that. You sat on a picnic blanket with Jaeyoung on your lap as Jaehee was blowing bubbles in front of you.
Jaeyoung squealed and clapped his hands as the bubbles flew in his direction, reaching out to pop the ones that were within arm's length. One landed on his nose, causing him to go cross-eyed as he tried to look at it. You giggled and snapped a quick picture before popping the bubble. His sweet laugh rang in your ears, making you lean down and kiss his forehead. Jaehee waved her hand around wildly in hopes of making more bubbles form but instead, the soapy liquid flew everywhere.
You stand corrected: nothing makes you happier than a warm spring day with your twins.
"Eomma, do you or JaeJae want to blow bubbles?" Jaehee asked, waving the wand in your face.
"I think you should show JaeJae the wand first." You answered.
She handed Jaeyoung the wand, who merely stared at it. Jaehee frowned but didn't let his lack of response deter her, instead holding it in front of you instead. You took the wand from her and blew bubbles much bigger than they had seen. There was only so much air that Jaehee could exhale and most of her bubbles were tiny. The twins stared at the bubbles in awe before running around to chase after them. You watched them fondly, an overwhelming warmth washing over you from the mere sight of them excited over something as simple as bubbles.
"Jaehee, do you want more fruit?" You called, picking up the container of fruit that was filled with berries.
"Yes, please."
She came running over and took a seat beside you to resume her snacking that was momentarily paused by the bubbles. You called out to Jaeyoung as well but he ignored you, continuing to occupy himself with a stick he had found after losing interest in the bubbles. With a strawberry stabbed into a yellow plastic fork in one hand, you approached your son and squatted beside him.
"Jaeyoung," You said softly so you wouldn't startle him.
"Eomma, look! Stick.”
The widest smile spread across his face at the sight of you. You smiled back at him, holding out the fork in front of him, which he snatched out of your hand and ate in one bite. He then turned his attention back to the stick, waving it around excitedly, almost poking himself in the eye while he was at it.
"Be careful, JaeJae."
Jaeyoung was a splitting image of you. From the shape of his eyes to the fullness of his lips, he was an exact reflection of you. His resemblance to you was one of the first things that the nurses pointed out once he popped out of your womb. Even at three years old, his features remained the same and he was your mini-me.
You left Jaeyoung alone, watching him fondly as he played around in the grass, finding entertainment in ripping handfuls of it before letting the wind blow it away from his hand. Jaehee waddled over towards you, plopping down in your lap with a couple of wildflowers in her hand that she picked.
"Look, eomma, flowers!" She exclaimed.
Jaehee, on the other hand, looked nothing like you. In fact, she seemed to take all of the features of her father. You still were shocked whenever you took a good look at her, wondering how it was possible for her to be a carbon copy of her father. It was amazing how each twin looked exactly like either of their parents and if anybody were to ever see the four of you, they would know immediately that you guys were a family.
"They're so pretty, Petal." You beamed. "Do you want to put one in your hair?"
You gently tucked the flower into her hair, adjusting accordingly so it wouldn't fall out. You couldn't help but snap a dozen pictures of her, giggling at how she posed for every single one. You couldn't believe how photogenic a three-year-old could be; she would be a great model if she ever decided to pursue a modeling career in the future.
"You look so pretty, baby." You cooed, leaving a big smooch on her cheek.
Jaehee smiled at you with a giggle, wiping your kiss off, to which you dramatically pouted. You peppered her face in kisses, making her squeal as she tried to escape your grasp.
"I kiss you too." She leaned in and kissed you smack on your lips.
"Oh, thank you." You laughed.
"Eomma!" Jaeyoung came walking over. "A doggie!"
You looked to your right and saw a rather big dog sniffing his way over in your direction. It looked up at the three of you, letting out a bark before bounding over. The twins excitedly met the dog halfway, being easily knocked over by the sheer size difference. They stood back up, however, laughing as the dog licked them all over their face and sniffed them frantically.
"Why hello there." You greeted the dog, getting up on your knees to pet it. You received a lick on your cheek in response. "What's your name?" You took a look at the collar, reading 'Jeon Bam' which was engraved on the tag.
"Bam!"
A man's voice startled you as Bam barked loudly upon hearing his name. The Doberman quickly abandoned the three of you and ran over to the figure who began scolding him, jumping up onto his hind legs out of excitement.
"Bam, you can't run away like that!"
When you looked up and caught a glimpse of who was in front of you, you felt like throwing up.
It had been over four years since you saw Jeon Jungkook in front of you. The last time you spoke to him was when he stared at you in disappointment as you begged him to let you into his dorm so you could speak with his bandmate. Seeing him in the flesh seemed unreal. You swore that you would never see him again yet here he was, standing in front of you as he smiled down at the twins fondly.
"Did you make new friends, Bamie?" Jungkook cooed, affectionately rubbing his head.
“Puppy!” Jaeyoung shrieked, launching his entire body forward and onto Bam.
You gasped in horror and quickly grabbed him, pulling him off of Bam, who was unfazed. “JaeJae, that was not nice. You have to be gentle, remember? Nice hands.”
Jungkook chuckled. “No worries, he’s so much smaller than Bam that he didn’t even feel it.”
You smiled wearily, waiting for him to realize who he was speaking to.
“Sorry about him knocking your kids over, he usually doesn’t run off when I take his leash off. I guess he saw the three of you and—"
Jungkook's voice left him as he finally looked up, making eye contact with the woman he was talking with for the past few minutes. His doe eyes grew to the size of saucers that you thought his eyes were going to fall out of their sockets. You simply smiled, struggling to hide the overwhelming wave of emotions that were drowning you.
"Y/N?" His voice was small, reminding you of Jaehee when you scolded her for doing something she wasn't supposed to.
"Hi, Jungkook."
Your voice was merely a whisper, for you feared you would burst into tears if you spoke louder. You forced yourself to push down the lump in your throat since you knew that you couldn't afford to break into tears with the twins in front of you. Maybe if you were alone, you would allow yourself to shed a few tears but you couldn't right now.
"Is that really you, noona?" Jungkook asked.
That damn honorific; you always found it weird being addressed as noona by other guys but it was endearing when it came from Jungkook and hearing him call you noona made you wonder if he still saw you the same way he did when he was friends.
"It really is me." You laughed, tears burning your eyes as you watched Jungkook's eyes flash with all kinds of emotions.
He crouched down in front of you, reaching his hand out to wipe the tear that fell down your face. You flinched, jerking your head away from him before he could touch you, wiping away the tear yourself. Your stomach twisted as his face dropped in hurt, gulping when he bit down on his lip and quickly retracted his hand.
"Where have you been, noona?" Jungkook asked.
"I've always been here, Kook. I just made sure to stay out of your way." You responded, uncaring about how harsh the truth was.
He glanced over at the twins, who were still occupied with Bam. The Doberman had taken it upon himself to curl up on the picnic blanket, content with the way Jaehee and Jaeyoung were petting him. Jungkook smiled at the sight for a split second before it dropped as quickly as it appeared.
"Is it because of—"
"Yup."
A heavy silence fell between the two of you. You didn't want to be so rude to Jungkook after seeing him for the first time in four years but you couldn't help but be angry that he was acting as if he didn't dump you on the side of the road after your breakup with Hoseok. He had been one of the people who accused you of cheating and his mere presence was close to sending you into a fit of tears.
"Does hyung know?" Jungkook's tone was cautionary, almost as if he was afraid to ask you.
"No. He blocked me after I sent the first ultrasound pictures that the doctor gave me. He doesn't even know that I have twins." You replied blankly.
Jungkook never experienced being stabbed by someone but with your blunt words and harsh tone, he felt as if you had attempted to stab him countless times. He always knew in the back of his mind that he shouldn't expect you to be kind in the instance that he saw you again but talking to you in real-time made it hurt all the more. And he knew that he had no right to be hurt when he contributed to all of the pain you felt over the last four years since the breakup.
"Oh."
You got up onto your knees and began packing the picnic basket. Jungkook watched helplessly as you quickly placed your containers and bottles in the basket, almost as if you were rushing to get away from him. "Time to go home, say bye bye to Bam."
Jaehee waved at Bam as you picked her up in one arm, holding the basket with the same hand. You grabbed Jaeyoung's hand, grateful that neither of the twins was putting up a fight, and instead found interest in the dandelions that had turned white.
"Y/N—”
"I have to go home, the twins need to take a nap before it's too late in the afternoon. It was nice seeing you again, Jungkook."
Without another word, you headed towards the parking lot beside the car, leaving Jungkook with no choice but to watch you disappear again. He swallowed the lump in his throat, unable to tear his eyes away even after you placed the twins in their car seats and drove out of the parking lot.
"It was nice seeing you too, noona."
Tumblr media
"Are you sure it was Y/N?"
"For the hundredth time, yes!"
Namjoon, Seokjin, and Yoongi flinched from Jungkook's sharp tone, muttering an apology under their breath. The maknae had been on edge ever since he came over to the dorm with Bam, clearly agitated from whatever happened while he was out. Seokjin had been the one to gather the other hyungs when Jungkook simply replied with your name after he asked what was wrong.
Jungkook ran his hand through his hair in frustration, irritated with how none of them believed that he saw you at the park. How could he mistake you for someone else when you had left such a distinct mark on his life? You also responded when he said your name and your children were carbon copies of you and Hoseok. How could it not be you?
"And she was there with two kids?" Seokjin asked.
"Yes, one boy and one girl. They're pretty young so I'm sure they're Hoseok hyung's kids."
Namjoon scowled at how quickly Jungkook assumed that they were Hoseok's children. "How do you know that it's not some other man's kids?"
"Because his daughter is him but with long hair! If you took one look at her you would know that they're Hoseok hyung's kids. Y/N didn't cheat like we all thought she did."
The room fell silent at Jungkook's outburst as his words sunk in. It felt as if somebody dump a bucket of cold water over their heads, the reality of what happened four years ago coming to light. All of them had been so convinced that you cheated on Hoseok with how angry he was and with the proof he had that they assumed all these years that you were pregnant with another man's kid.
"We were wrong." Jungkook's voice cracked as tears welled up in his eyes yet again. "We were so fucking wrong about Y/N."
Namjoon placed his hand on his shoulder, rubbing it comfortingly. "It's okay, Kook. None of us knew."
"Yeah, but we still treated her like she was the scum of the Earth and she raised twins on her own for the past four years. We all know that she didn't deserve any of that."
Out of everybody in Bangtan, Jungkook was the most affected by abruptly cutting you out of his life other than Hoseok. Though he wasn't the member you were closest with, he had a kind heart and a pure soul. Refusing to let you see Hoseok after the initial demand to break up and blaming you for cheating on his best friend tore him inside. He didn't want to believe that you would do something as cruel as cheating but Hoseok would always come first. Part of him always felt guilty for pushing you out of his life, even if it had been four years.
"What are we going to do? We have to tell Hoseok hyung, don't we?" Jungkook asked.
Yoongi shook his head. "I think it's best if we don't tell him. He's been better off without Y/N and you saw how long it took for him to move past the breakup. If she stayed in Seoul and none of us have run into her for the past four years, I highly doubt it'll happen now."
"That's not fair, he deserves to know!" Jungkook protested.
"Yeah, I think we should tell him. Just so he knows and isn't kept in the dark." Namjoon agreed.
Seokjin raised his eyebrows. "Does he deserve to know? He blew up on Y/N, accused her of cheating when he could've asked to take a paternity test. He abandoned her and left her to raise their twins on her own knowing that she had nobody in her life to help her. Do you really think he deserves to know?"
Silence could be suffocating. It was amazing how something so simple could grab you by the throat and leave you gasping for air. Seokjin and Yoongi stared at Namjoon and Jungkook, their arms crossed and chins up with defiance while the younger cowered away from their pointed looks. Namjoon may be the leader of the group, but Seokjin and Yoongi were the eldest, and sometimes they knew better. Namjoon understood that and respected it, but this time, he wasn't sure if they really did know better.
Tumblr media
Jung Hoseok was observant.
It was a trait he picked up and developed after being the dance leader of Bangtan for nine years. He spotted even the smallest mistakes that the members made during the choreography, keeping it in mind to help correct them after the run-through. In the instances where he missed the mistakes, either the expressions of the members would give it away or they would confess that they messed up. This situation fell under both categories. He could tell some of the members were hiding something from him and knew someone would eventually crack and tell him what was going on. That someone was Jungkook.
Hoseok noticed that Seokjin, Yoongi, Namjoon, and Jungkook seemed to know something other members didn't. He also noticed that it didn't involve Taehyung or Jimin as they acted normally around them. Maybe Hoseok was a bit too observant. Or maybe he knew his brothers well enough to be aware that they were hiding something from him. He didn't know when Jungkook was going to fess up but it wouldn't be long until he did. After all, he could never hide anything from his beloved Hoseok hyung.
"I feel like we haven't talked in a while, Jungkookie." Hoseok collapsed on the floor beside the maknae, leaning against the wall before taking a sip out of his water.
Jungkook looked at him amusedly, his eyes twinkling. "What do you mean, hyung? We talk almost every day."
"No, I mean we haven't talk-talked. We need to catch up." He replied. He then moved closer to Jungkook with a smile. "Anything new in your life?"
Okay, so maybe Hoseok wasn't being as subtle as he thought. He came up with an elaborate plan on how to coax Jungkook into telling him what he was hiding but it didn't seem to be going to plan. His eagerness to find out what was going on muddled his brain and he couldn't help but spit out his immediate thoughts.
"No, nothing new. I've been just playing games at home and lying around when I'm not with you guys." Jungkook answered.
Hoseok narrowed his eyes at him, giving him an accusing look. "Are you sure about that?"
"Yes?"
"Really?"
"I'm not really following right now," Jungkook confessed. "Why are you interrogating me right now?"
"Because I know you're hiding something, Jeon Jungkook." Hoseok hissed, his resolve breaking. "And I know that the other hyungs know too. Now tell me, what are you guys hiding from me?"
The maknae's eyes widened as he backed away from him. "What are you talking about? We're not hiding anything."
Whether or not Jungkook drastically improved his acting and lying skills, Hoseok didn't know but he was doing a magnificent job at not spilling whatever secret was floating around between half of the group.
"Yes, you guys are." Hoseok accused. "I'm not an idiot and have seen you guys whispering for the past week. What's going on?"
Jungkook let out a laugh before shaking his head. "You must be crazy. I think you're misinterpreting normal conversations for something that they're not."
"Are you gaslighting me right now?" Hoseok had to admit that he was acting out of line. He was treading on a hunch and there was no solid evidence that Jungkook and the rest of the hyung line knew something he didn't. But seeing the way Jungkook was pretending as if he wasn't whispering behind his back even if he wasn't keeping a secret was irking him.
"I'm not, promise." Jungkook laughed. "I've got nothing to hide and even if I did, you would be the first person I would tell. Have I ever kept something from you?”
"No," Hoseok reluctantly answered.
"Exactly." Jungkook pointed out. "There's no secret being kept. Don't worry about something that doesn't even exist."
Tumblr media
"The universe has never been on your side, Y/L/N, Y/N."
"Tell me about it." You sighed.
You took a sip of your blueberry hibiscus tea, slamming it down against the table miserably. Eunae stared at you sympathetically, patting you on the shoulder in a poor attempt to make you feel better. She perked up when her boyfriend approached the table with a slice of strawberry shortcake in his hand, immediately taking it from him to place it in front of you.
"Here, eat this. You'll feel better after you eat some cake." She urged, picking up a forkful.
"Thanks for the cake, Seungcheol." You mumbled before opening your mouth to take a bite.
Eunae was your delivery nurse while you gave birth to the twins. You were grateful that your nurse was somebody your age, as it brought more comfort to have a person who could understand you. The rest of your delivery team were middle-aged adults and while they were the most excellent team you could ask for, it was hard trying to connect to them. You and Eunae hit it off immediately upon meeting each other and she had been in your life ever since.
For the past three years, she had been by your side to help you raise Jaehee and Jaeyoung without hesitation. After realizing that you were a single mother with no support system, she befriended you and took you in with open arms. Even if you had family and friends to rely on, there was no doubt that the two of you would've remained friends.
Seungcheol, on the other hand, was somebody you met through Eunae. Your first time meeting him was nothing short of awkward and embarrassing, and it was something the three of you never dared to discuss. About a year after the twins were born, Eunae revealed that she had been seeing a guy and that they were officially dating for six months. While you were initially upset that she never told you, she explained that she couldn’t tell you because she quite legally wasn’t allowed to. Your first assumption was that Eunae was dating perhaps some top-secret government worker who could end either of their lives if he wanted to.
What you didn’t assume was that you would find her making out on her couch with Choi Seungcheol.
"What the fuck?" You squawked.
Eunae and Seungcheol immediately jumped apart from one another, scrambling to fix their clothes and hair while avoiding eye contact. You gaped at them, unable to believe that your best friend was dating a K-pop idol, specifically one who was a member of one of the most popular groups in Korea. Their faces were beet red, unable to look you in the eye.
“You’re dating Choi Seungcheol?” You screeched. “Seventeen’s leader S. Coups? User Sound_of_Coups on Instagram?”
“Shut the fuck up, Y/N!” Eunae shrieked, chucking a pillow at your face.
You quickly dodged it, scowling at her as the twins almost flew out of their stroller. Luckily, they remained asleep amidst the chaos, unaware of what was unfolding in front of them. “Hey, you're going to hit the twins if you're not careful. Watch it.”
“I don’t fucking care,” Eunae growled. “Why didn’t you knock?”
“Because you leave the door unlocked for me to walk in whenever you dumb bitch.”
“Are you allowed to be swearing in front of them that much?” Seungcheol piped up.
You and Eunae paused, looking over at the twins for a brief second before shaking your heads.
“They’re asleep, they can’t hear us,” Eunae said.
Seungcheol tilted his head, unsure of how accurate her statement was but accepted it regardless. He then stood up from the couch, bowing to you as he introduced himself. "Hi, Y/N, I'm Seungcheol. It's nice to finally meet you, I've heard a lot about you from Eunae."
"All good things, I hope." You joked, pressing on the brakes from the strollers before Eunae pushed you aside to grab one of the sleeping twins, cooing about how she missed them.
"Only great things." Seungcheol smiled. "Eunae speaks highly of you so I've been excited to meet you. "I'm sorry about the circumstances we met under, I had no idea you would be visiting today."
You shook your head as you swung your diaper bag over your shoulder and picked up Jaeyoung. "No, please don't apologize. It was my fault for not knocking. Eunae usually lets me walk in whenever I come over and I didn't expect her to have a guest. I'm glad to meet you though."
Admittedly, you were a bit skeptical about her relationship with Seungcheol after your past disaster of a relationship with Hoseok but kept your mouth shut about it. You knew you weren't in the place to judge considering that you didn't know much about Seungcheol nor was it fair to assume that all idols were the same. The last thing you wanted to do was displace your ill feelings from Hoseok onto Seungcheol. Over the past two years, however, you learned that Seungcheol was nothing like Hoseok and you had nothing to be worried about in regards to his intentions with Eunae.
They first met during the Ode to You Tour after Eunae had been hired to work as one of the onsite nurses for the group. She and Seungcheol hit it off well during the few months Seungcheol was part of the tour, even remaining in contact after his hiatus from group activities. Eunae became somebody he often confided in, sharing his worries and in return receiving valuable advice. Once the tour was finished, Eunae landed a job at the hospital you delivered the twins which is how your friendship came to be. Not too long after she began working there, Seungcheol asked her out and their relationship soon came to be.
"Are you going to tell Hoseok?" Seungcheol asked. "There's no way Jungkook isn't going to tell him about the twins."
That was the one thing you were certain about following the conversation with Jungkook. The maknae quite literally worshipped the ground Hoseok walked in and while you were dating Hoseok, you had seen many instances of Jungkook's immense love for him. After the fight you and Jungkook had before you cut all contact, there was no doubt that he would go running to his hyung and open his mouth about who he saw at the park.
"I don't know, to be honest. Hoseok doesn't think the twins are his so I don't think he'll care that Jungkook saw me. He'll probably just get angry and end the conversation." You aggressively stabbed at your cake, scooping the piece into your mouth.
"I wouldn't tell him if I was you. He made the choice to accuse you of cheating when he literally could've gotten a paternity test done and left you alone to raise not one but two children on your own. He has no right to know about the twins nor be in your lives. I say fu-screw him." Eunae slammed her fist on the table, startling Jaehee.
Seungcheol gave her a disapproving look, shifting Jaeyoung on his lap so he could take Jaehee away from her. "You're scaring Jaehee."
Eunae snatched her back, settling Jaehee on her lap before ticking her stomach. "Jaehee knows that Eunae imo isn't scary, right, neoguri?"
You rolled your eyes, thinking about all of the times Eunae accidentally scared the twins with her loud voice and enthusiastic personality. She was perhaps the most outgoing and bubbly person you met, which was no match for her tiny figure. Sometimes you felt like she was meant to be six feet tall but was unfortunately trapped in a five-foot body. Her attitude and personality certainly made up for the lack of inches in her height.
"I think it's best if I don't tell him. If Jungkook told him then that's fine because there's nothing I can do. I don't think he's ever kept a secret from Hoseok out of all people." You groaned, dropping your head on the table.
Eunae moved the cake away from your hair, tutting as she wiped some frosting off. "Honestly, Jungkook doesn't deserve to know about the twins either, considering how he treated you when you ran into him at the dorm. He's equally as bad as Hoseok. Public enemy number two in my eyes."
You laughed at her comment as you lifted your head off of the table, grateful that she had been loyal to you from the start. She and Seungcheol, alongside the Seventeen members, were the only ones who you really had in your life. Though you lacked so much compared to them and lived a life that strayed away from the norm, they easily welcomed you into their lives with open arms and brought you in to be part of their family.
"What if you run into him? You ran into Jungkook so surely you'll run into Hoseok at some point too, whether you're with the twins or not." Seungcheol pointed out.
You scrunched up your face at the mere thought of bumping into your ex-boyfriend. You were quite positive that you would punch his annoyingly beautiful face if you ever saw him again and had even learned how to throw a proper punch from Mingyu just in case. "I think I would punch him. Or run back in the direction I came from."
"You better punch him, Y/L/N Y/N or god so help me," Eunae growled. "I'll punch him too so he can walk around with matching black eyes."
"You are so violent." Seungcheol smiled tightly.
"It's the only answer."
He simply kissed her on the forehead, nodding along in agreement as she angrily muttered about how much she hated Hoseok and what she planned on doing if she ever came across him. "You do that, baby."
"I don't know what I'm going to do if I see him again. I truly think I might implode." You mumbled.
Seungcheol laughed nervously, as he glanced over at the door upon hearing the bell ringing. "Would seeing the other members make you implode?"
"I don't know, probably not."
"Good, because Jungkook and Yoongi just walked in,"
Eunae immediately snapped her head up. "What?"
She gasped loudly, swatting at you to get your attention. To your utter horror, Jungkook and Yoongi were approaching the counter as they stared at the menu. They were wearing a hat and masks to cover up their faces but it was obvious to you and Seungcheol that it was them. Eunae narrowed her eyes, wondering how Seungcheol was able to recognize them so easily when their hats almost covered their eyes and their mask hid half of their face. Luckily, the three of you were secluded in the corner of the cafe so that nobody would spot Seungcheol.
"Y/N, move down one seat so you're against the wall. Cheol, go sit beside her."
The two of you immediately obeyed, switching around the seats before Eunae passed Jaehee to the two of you. Your heart was racing as you curled into your daughter, barely registering Eunae telling Seungcheol to wrap his arm around your waist and pull you close to his body to hide you from Yoongi and Jungkook to the best of his abilities.
"I know this is weird but when you guys sit like that it looks like you guys are a random couple. There's no way either of them will be able to recognize you two especially with your backs facing them." Eunae explained in a low tone.
All you could hear was your heart pounding in your ears as you stared down at the table, remaining frozen as Seungcheol and Eunae talked among themselves in hushed tones. Jaehee and Jaeyoung were fortunately distracted by the new coloring books Eunae gifted them, unaware of the panic between the three of you. Bile rose in your throat as you heard Jungkook and Yoongi laughing, their voices becoming louder as they walked closer to your table.
The unfortunate part about the table you had chosen was that it was near the pickup counter. Though there was still a good distance between the table and the counter, there was a higher chance you would be spotted. Seungcheol moved even closer to you, placing his elbow on the table and resting his face on his hand so he could block Jaeyoung's face completely. Eunae watched them discreetly, occasionally glancing at them to assure that neither of them had spotted you. It was shocking that they were at the same coffee shop the three of you were at, considering that it was the most common meetup spot and you had yet to see any of the BTS members walk in. Whether they had already been customers you didn't know but your run-ins with them no longer felt like coincidences.
"I think they're gonna leave soon, Yoongi just grabbed his drink and they're making Jungkook's, I'm pretty sure," Eunae reported.
"What's taking them so long to make two drinks?" Seungcheol grumbled. "How complicated are their orders?" He then glanced down at his arm that was around your face, cringing at the proximity. "Sorry, Y/N, but if I have to hold you like this any longer I might have to spill Eunae's drink on you."
"Not if I do it first." You sneered.
Eunae rolled her eyes at the childish remarks, wondering how Seungcheol was the leader of a thirteen-member band while you were the mother of twins yet both of you acted like elementary school students. "Lucky for you guys, they're gone." She remarked dryly.
Seungcheol ripped his arm away and happily sat back down beside Eunae, sliding his arm around her waist before dropping his face into the crook of her neck. "Thank fucking god, if I had to touch her for another second I was going to call Yoongi and Jungkook over."
Eunae gasped, aggressively slapping him for the rude comment. "Choi Seungcheol, watch what you say!"
"I think you need a new boyfriend." You folded your hands on the table, tightly smiling at the couple in front of you. "A better one."
She ignored your comment, instead turning back to the issue at hand. "It looks like you'll have to be careful for the next few days, Y/N. Running into Yoongi once and Jungkook twice means that you're a lot closer to Hoseok than you thought."
It seemed as if your issue of running into Yoongi and Jungkook stemmed from your recent move. You moved into a new apartment about two months ago after saving up to move to a bigger one. You and the twins lived in a one-bedroom apartment that was far too cramped for the three of you but you couldn't afford to move to a bigger place up until the new year. You spent the past three years saving up to move to an apartment that was well-fit for the twins to grow up. Though you lived in Seoul previously, your new apartment was closer to the heart of the city and it seemed like that was where the Bangtan members were located.
"I knew I should've moved into a different apartment." You lamented, dropping your head back onto the table.
Eunae reached out and brushed your hair soothingly. "Everything's going to be okay, Y/N. If you run into Hoseok, then you run into Hoseok. Whatever happens, just know that Cheol and I are always by your side. Don't worry too much."
You smiled at her, grateful that she was doing all she could to comfort you even to the point where she dragged her unwilling boyfriend along with her. Despite her words, however, tears stung your eyes as you pressed your lips together, trying to stop them from falling. The fears that accumulated over the years were reaching their breaking point and bumping into Hoseok would surely tip you over the edge.
Even though he was the one who had left you and the twins, you had a nasty feeling that you would be fighting to keep your kids within arm's reach.

Part of btsafterdarknet's the boys are back in town event
Main Masterlist
“There’s a what next weekend?” you asked Soo-ah, reading the social media invite you’d both just received. 
“TEN-YEAR REUNION SPRING BREAK PARTY” flashed on the screen in front of you. Below it, details and RSVP information were spelled out in italics. You groaned, knowing what was coming next.
“Oh! We have to go! Please?!” Soo-ah pleaded. You had done your best to block out the memories of the four years you’d spent in the hell called high school. It hadn’t been particularly torturous, but you were nothing short of ecstatic to leave that place, and the people, behind you when you first entered college. Soo-ah, on the other hand, still regularly saw friends from high school and reminisced on her time there. It didn’t surprise you that she’d want to attend this reunion.
“Seriously? It’s been ten years. I don’t want anything to do with those people!” you defended. Spending a Saturday night with people you barely remembered wasn’t exactly on your bingo card for the year, but apparently Soo-ah was going to be the one to handwrite it into the free space that was leftover. 
“I don’t care. We’re going!” she responded, making the decision for you as she texted the RSVP number to confirm both of your attendance. You sighed, knowing you weren’t going to change her mind no matter what you tried.
“Fine. But you owe me,” you said, letting out an exasperated breath, rolling your eyes at your best friend. She was a pain in the ass, but you loved her. She’d stuck by your side for the last fifteen years, and had put up with her fair share of nonsense from you, so you could suffer through one night of nonsense for her.
Grocery shopping at night, alone, was one of your favorite things to do. The stores were always empty, peaceful. You meandered through the aisles, erasing items from the list on your phone as you tossed them into your cart. Stopping in front of the pasta section, you reached above your head to grab a box of your favorite, but it was just out of your reach. Bracing yourself on one of the shelves, you stood on your tiptoes, hoping those few extra inches would be enough for you to grab the box you wanted. Your fingertips only grazed the box, but just as you were about to give up on that particular brand, a lanky arm reached from just behind you and grabbed the box for you.
“Oh, thank— Hobi?” you asked incredulously as you took the box from his hand.
“The one and only, baby. I thought that was you. You haven’t changed a bit,” he answered, cocky smile matching his tone.
Jung Hoseok, better known as Hobi back in high school, was the town’s ex-resident bad boy, half (a very hot half) of a very well-known duo. He and his friends were always up to something, wreaking havoc everywhere they went. Constantly in detention, throwing wild parties, spending all of their free time getting high and definitely not doing any homework. His reputation as a player was well-known amongst everyone, too. From what you remembered, there probably wasn’t a single person in his crowd who he hadn’t slept with at one point or another. You’d steered clear of them, trying your hardest to maintain your girl next door image and straight-A record, hoping to gain admittance to the private university one city over. Your efforts had prevailed, and you were proud of the success you’d worked so hard to maintain over the last ten years.
“What are you doing back?” is all you could think to ask. It was eleven o’clock on a Thursday night, and you hadn’t seen Hobi, or any of his old friends, in years. Running into him here was nothing short of surprising.
“Didn’t you hear? The reunion is Saturday. Couldn’t miss that,” he shrugged.
“Ah. Yeah, should’ve figured. Soo-ah and I are going too.”
He chuckled, responding only with, “Well, I’ll see you ladies on Saturday then. How is Soo-ah, by the way?” He winked as he walked away, leaving you standing awkwardly at your cart, box of pasta still clutched in your hand. 
As you wandered the aisles, finishing up your shopping, you couldn’t help but think, just our luck. You knew that Soo-ah had been involved with Hobi during your senior year. It had been just a casual thing. They were never exclusive, according to him. Unfortunately, Soo-ah had had her heart broken when she found that out. You wondered how she’d feel seeing him again. But then, you wondered…
Would he be there too?
-
You and Soo-ah walked to the entrance of the restaurant together. The reunion was being hosted at a large brewery in downtown. You’d only been there a few times before, but you knew it had a large open area for mingling, good food and drinks, but it was especially dark inside. Entering the restaurant, you were met with a sudden wave of chatter and laughter, loud music blaring. The place had basically been turned into a nightclub of sorts, making your stomach churn. You weren’t one to frequent places with loud music or crowds, but here you were, doing both for some stupid high school reunion.
“Let’s go grab a drink and find some of our old friends!” Soo-ah suggested as she pulled you by the arm toward the bar. Trying to calm your nerves, you settled on a mojito, knowing the alcohol in it would make you relax. Soo-ah ordered her usual drink that was probably ninety percent alcohol, making you turn your nose up at the smell wafting off her glass as she picked it up. You took a sip of your drink, eyes scanning the crowd for any familiar faces. You had to admit, you barely remembered anyone, but for Soo-ah, that wasn’t the case. She had already pointed out multiple people she wanted to catch up with.
Voices and faces all blurred together as Soo-ah dragged you from one group to another. You exchanged pleasantries, but frankly, you weren’t really interested in reliving the so-called glory days of high school with people you never even spoke to. It seemed like all everyone wanted to do was brag about their lives, which you were not interested in doing. Finishing your drink, you politely excused yourself, heading back to the bar for another round. Thankfully, there were a few open bar stools left, so you plopped down on one, waiting to get the bartender’s attention.
“This seat taken?” came a deep, low voice to your left. Turning your head to see the owner of the voice, your jaw dropped when you saw him.
Min Yoongi. The other half of the infamous duo you spent years trying to avoid. Except for the fact that, this half? Yeah, this half was the half you’d actively pined over all of high school. You knew he was bad news then, so all you’d done was admire him from afar. Not that he even knew who you were anyway. 
“Uh.. um, no. Go ahead,” you responded, signaling to the bartender again, really needing another drink to get through whatever conversation was about to occur. Finally catching his eye, you breathed a sigh of relief as the bartender approached you.
“What can I get you?” the older man asked you with a gentle smile on his face. You rattled off your order, and he turned toward Yoongi. The smile previously on his face fell immediately. “Yoongi.”
“Mr. Cho. I’m good, I swear,” Yoongi defended, hands up as if in surrender. You tried to read the expression on his face, but failed. It was almost like… regret? Apology? You weren’t sure.
“Last time you were here, we closed with hundreds of dollars worth of damage because of you and your friends. A fight, if I remember correctly,” Mr. Cho continued, arms crossed over his chest.
Your eyes jumped between the two men, unsure if you should interrupt, stay quiet, leave? You decided, against your better judgment, to remain in your seat and stay quiet.
“That was years ago, Mr. Cho. I’m not like that anymore, promise,” Yoongi explained, going so far as to hold his pinky finger up in front of the older man, swearing on… something.
Mr. Cho rolled his eyes and continued, “What do you want?”
Yoongi ordered a glass of whiskey, neat. But what he said next took you by surprise. “Add hers to my tab, too.”
“Um— no, I’m fine. You don’t need to do that,” you interrupted, looking at him with a confused look on your face. All he did in response was wave his hand at you, as if to say, nonsense. 
Mr. Cho turned away to prepare both of your drinks, leaving you and Yoongi alone at the bar.
“I’m ____,” you started awkwardly.
“I know who you are. How could I not? Hobi dated your friend for a bit, yeah?” he asked, taking a sip from the glass Mr. Cho placed in front of him. 
Picking up your mojito, you gulped down more than you’d planned, but you weren’t a quitter. You swallowed, trying not to show the grimace playing at your lips.
“Not sure dated is the proper word, but yeah. Soo-ah was seeing him senior year. Until he conveniently forgot to mention to her that he was also seeing two other girls,” you snapped back. 
Yoongi snickered, tipping his glass toward you. “Hey, from what I heard, they never had the ‘exclusive’ talk. So you can’t blame him,” he said with a half-shrug. 
You couldn’t help rolling your eyes at him. Typical Yoongi, you thought. Defending Hobi like he’d done nothing wrong, even though he knew that wasn’t the case, was something he’d always done over the years. You weren’t sure why he even hung out with him, because they weren’t the same. Yoongi never really gave the impression that he was willingly going along with a lot of Hobi’s antics, but what did you know? You didn’t really know them.
“Hey. I’m not Hobi, alright? Take that shit out on him if you want. He’s over there,” he pointed, “but remember, it’s been ten years. And Soo-ah doesn’t seem to care.”
Turning around, you saw Soo-ah in a big group of people, Hobi included, laughing and drinking. She wasn’t really acknowledging his presence, but she wasn’t exactly ignoring him, either. Rolling your eyes, you realized that he was probably right.
“Sorry. Old grudges die hard, I guess.”
“It’s alright. How’s life been for you?” he asked.
The two of you fell into easy conversation then. Where and for what you’d gone to college, jobs, how you spent your free time. It was like talking to an old friend, but also, not really.
“So, yeah. My job is basically always stressful. This is the first time in, like, months that I’ve been out and haven’t gotten a call from my boss,” you finished. You moved to take another sip of your drink, but to your dismay, it was already empty. You frowned, looking over at Yoongi as he did the same thing. You erupted into a fit of giggles, and he followed suit, laughing heartily along with you.
“Damn,” you said, shaking your head, “didn’t realize I drank that that fast.”
“Want another?”
“No, I probably shouldn’t. I get hungover really easily and that’s the last thing I need,” you explained.
“Hmm. You ever smoked weed?” Yoongi questioned.
“Do I look like someone who’s ever smoked weed, Yoongi?” you laughed out. The thought alone was hysterical to you. The fact that he would think you had smoked before was even funnier. You had never done anything even remotely illegal; no underage drinking, no shoplifting, and surely no drug use. You were known as the goody two-shoes your entire life, and you knew that he knew that.
“Well, no,” Yoongi admitted with a laugh, “but you should give it a try. It’ll wipe that stress away so fast, you won’t even notice it anymore.”
You gave him an incredulous look, thinking that he definitely had to be joking. There was no way you were about to blemish your perfect reputation by smoking weed to relieve stress.
“I can show you,” Yoongi deadpanned, “if you want.”
You shook your head, laughing at him. “No thanks, I’m alright.”
Yoongi reached out and ran his fingers along the back of your hand. He looked at you, a mischievous smirk on his face. 
“C’mon, live a little. Can’t you have some fun for once?”
“Min Yoongi. You don’t know me. Who says I don’t have fun?”
“Well, you’ve never smoked weed. That alone says you don’t have enough fun,” he chuckled.
You rolled your eyes. But the nagging voice in your head was beginning to eat away at you. Ten years ago, you would’ve done anything to get even the smallest bit of attention from Min Yoongi. And now, you were sitting here, having a one-on-one conversation with him for almost an hour, he was offering to spend even more time with you, and you were declining. Why?
It wasn’t in your nature to make impulsive decisions. You had meticulously thought-out plans for everything you did. But your intrusive thoughts were winning tonight, no matter how hard you fought them.
“Alright. Show me.”
Yoongi cocked his brow, seemingly surprised that you’d agreed. Before you had the chance to change your mind, however, he was standing, leaving a few bills on the bar to pay his tab, and grabbing your hand, leading you through the crowded restaurant and out the door.
The cool spring breeze outside was refreshing. You took a deep breath, enjoying the fresh air. Walking a few steps behind Yoongi, hand still in his, you stumbled a bit, the alcohol catching up to you more now that you weren’t sitting. 
“You good?” came Yoongi’s voice from ahead of you. 
“Yepp, all good. Lead the way,” you giggled. You were pleasantly buzzed, and you hoped the feeling remained until you were confident enough around him without it. He led you down the crowded street, never letting go of your hand, until you reached a high-rise building, hotel name illuminated in the night sky.
“We’re staying here this weekend. C’mon,” he gestured toward the building.
Five minutes later, the two of you exited the elevator on the eleventh floor, and Yoongi guided you toward his room. 
The fact that he had said ‘we’ downstairs was lost on you until he opened the door, holding it open for you to follow after him. You entered the room, setting your purse down on the dresser, and you noticed a third person already in the room, standing at the cracked-open window, joint between his fingers.
Hobi. 
-
“___? No shit,” Hobi blurted out with a laugh, coughing a bit on his inhale. 
“She needs to relax,” Yoongi explained, sly smirk on his face. You shrugged, unsure what to say other than to agree with him.
Hobi shot you a confused glance, obviously not expecting you to be one to join them in their late-night smoke session. “With us?”
“Shut up,” you snapped out in response, the words coming out more tense than you’d planned.
“Damn. You do need to relax,” Hobi laughed out. Yoongi had already joined him at the window, taking the joint from his hand and taking a hit for himself. He held the smoke in his lungs for a few seconds before slowly blowing it out the window. After letting out all of his inhale, he turned to face you. You were still standing awkwardly in the middle of the room, not sure where to go or what to do.
“C’mere, love,” Yoongi said, beckoning you over to them. You didn’t miss the pet name he’d used, but you chose to ignore it. Walking hesitantly over to the window, you joined the two men, resting your body weight on the window sill with your elbow, facing them.
Yoongi and Hobi exchanged knowing glances as Hobi took another drag, puffing the smoke out calmly. His eyes were already appearing glazed over, a serene air overtaking his normal exuberant self. He held the joint out to you, a sickly sweet smile on his face.
“Your turn, baby,” Hobi breathed out, watching as you took it from him. You held the joint between your fingers, unsure what to do next. You began to feel stupid, like you definitely shouldn’t be there, until Yoongi took it back, taking a quick hit before speaking.
“We’ll take care of you. Don’t worry,” he reassured you, holding the joint up and putting it between your lips, “Just inhale a bit, slowly. Hold it in for a second, then let it out.”
Even with following his instructions, you still coughed a bit (or maybe a lot), but neither of them said anything. You were expecting Hobi to make fun of you, to say something sarcastic about you being too innocent, but he didn’t. Instead, he just watched you, silently observing. His dark eyes, although glazed over, still intimidated you after all these years. For whatever reason, you could never figure out why, but he had always had a very intense aura to him. 
Thirty minutes later, the three of you had settled into a very comfortable, very giggly high. Hobi and Yoongi were sprawled out on their beds, while you stretched out sideways over an armchair, looking at the ceiling. The relaxation you felt was like nothing you’d ever experienced. You felt like you were floating, fully embracing the euphoria. Your brain was lagging a bit, taking extra seconds to decipher whatever Hobi and Yoongi were discussing. You had to admit, you still didn’t know, and you had barely been listening, so you only caught the tail end of their conversation.
“No! That’s ridiculous,” Hobi yelled out, a hand over his belly as he curled into the fetal position, laughing. Yoongi was laughing too, and then it became infectious, impossible for you to avoid following suit. 
A few minutes of uncontrollable laughter later, Hobi got up from his bed to use the bathroom. You and Yoongi fell into silence as he disappeared. It didn’t surprise you that Hobi was even more obnoxious while high than he was normally, but you were struggling to figure out how Yoongi was taking his own high. He was giggly, just like you and Hobi, but other than that, he seemed almost like his normal, quiet self, maybe even quieter. 
“Hey,” Yoongi spoke suddenly.
Tilting your head upside down to look at him as best as you could from your position, you responded, “Hey, yourself.”
“C’mere,” he called, holding an outstretched hand to you. 
Brow cocked, you lifted yourself from the armchair and stumbled over to the side of his bed, looking at him quizzically, arms holding you up as you rested your palms on the mattress. 
“What’s up?” you questioned.
“I’m just gonna be honest with you. I get stupid affectionate when I’m high. Come lay with me,” Yoongi requested.
“Uh— why me? Can’t you cuddle with Hobi or something?” you asked him, laughing at your own suggestion.
Yoongi laughed, but then declined your offer, shaking his head.
“Been there, done that. He gets weird,” he explained, looking up at you from his spot on the bed, head resting on his outstretched arm. “Besides, you’re a lot cuter than him anyway,” he finished, putting on a smirk.
You couldn’t help but giggle at his admission, unsure if it was the weed talking or if it was how he really felt. But his eyes never left you, and he stretched his arm out more, making grabby hands at you.
“Please, love?” he asked again, puppy eyes on full display. You cocked an eyebrow, watching as his facial expression turned to full-blown begging before you.
You sighed, turning to sit on the bed next to him. “Fine,” you said with an exasperated breath.
Before you had a chance to think, Yoongi was wrapping his arms around you, pulling you down to lay next to him. He snuggled into your side, attaching himself to you like a koala would a tree, nuzzling his nose into the crook of your neck. It was a little awkward at first, but before long, you had relaxed more, sinking into the mattress underneath you.
“You two comfortable?” a voice came from the other side of the room, laughter erupting from Hobi as he flicked the main lights off and flopped down on his bed again. You and Yoongi laughed along with him, and you couldn’t help but to turn into his embrace, enjoying his warmth and the feeling of his body against yours. You draped your arm over him, drawing patterns on his back over his shirt, hearing him sigh with what you could only describe as bliss.
The room slipped into mostly comfortable silence, aside from Hobi watching funny videos on his phone, laughing out loud at almost all of them. Yoongi had fallen into a deep state of contentment, his breathing almost even with yours, as you continued rubbing his back. Without even noticing it yourself, you slipped your hand under the back of his shirt, wanting more contact with him, and his breath caught.
“This okay?” you asked him, not wanting to push any boundaries of his. He let out a hum, resting his arm over your lower stomach, fingertips dancing at your hip.
“I don’t think I’ve ever been this relaxed,” Yoongi sighed, “you’re so fucking comfortable.”
You laughed. “Me too. And you’re warm.”
As the minutes passed, you noticed his hand slowly moving upward until his fingers were grazing your collarbone, drifting onto your neck. His face was still buried in the other side of your neck, but you felt him lift his head slightly as he whispered in your ear.
“You’re really, really hot.” 
You whipped your head to the side, scooting back a little so you could see him better.
“Huh?” you asked incredulously, trying to suppress your laughter again.
He pulled you closer, lips pressing an open-mouthed kiss to the crook of your neck. You froze, your skin igniting under his touch. Your breathing hitched in your throat, your head spinning.
“I could make you feel so good,” he whispered, peppering kisses up your neck, his tongue occasionally darting out to lick at your skin.
“Yoongi, what the fuck?” you whispered back, laughter coming out this time. You weren’t sure if it was from the weed or your nerves, but you couldn’t stop giggling.
He, on the other hand, was not laughing.
“I’m serious,” he cocked his head at you, a wicked smile playing on his lips, “I know you feel it, too.”
You couldn’t deny that he was right. You weren’t usually a very touchy person, but from the minute he’d cuddled up against you, your brain had been short circuiting, the nerves under your skin like a live wire against him. You took a shaky breath, unsure how to respond. But then, a thought crossed your mind.
“What about Hobi?” you questioned, voice still a whisper, not wanting to attract the other man’s attention.
Yoongi snickered, hand moving to cup your cheek, as he closed in on you. Landing a soft kiss on your lips, he replied, “What about him?”
Suddenly, he was kissing you, the hand on your cheek moving to your neck, pulling you closer. His mouth engulfed yours, consuming you with desire. Your hand squeezed his waist from under his shirt, using the grip to pull your body against his. He ran his tongue along your lower lip, eliciting a quiet moan from you. He pulled back, breathing heavily, your faces still almost touching.
“We always wondered what it would be like to ruin you,” came a voice from behind you. You gasped. At some point in the time that you’d been distracted with Yoongi, Hobi had seen what was going on between the two of you, gotten out of bed, and walked to your side of Yoongi’s bed, all without you noticing. 
You bolted upright, looking like a deer in headlights as you realized that you’d been caught. Nothing had really even happened, but your heart was about to beat out of your chest. Your nerves were on fire, feeling embarrassed and ashamed. Yoongi, however, was still laying down, eyes darting calmly between you and Hobi.
“Woah, woah. What do you mean, we?” you said, voice no longer a whisper, but a low shriek.
Hobi chuckled, shrugging his shoulders as he answered, “I said what I said. We’re kind of a package deal, baby.”
“What do you think, love?” came Yoongi’s deep voice from your other side.
You sat there, looking between the two men, brain still lagging from your high. Your relaxed state had quickly devolved into shock. You opened and closed your mouth, unable to find the words to respond.
“Let us make you feel good,” Hobi proposed, his hand coming to rest on your shoulder, fingers brushing along your skin gently.
“We won’t do anything you don’t want. But, from experience, fucking while high is so good,” Yoongi stated matter-of-factly.
You took a deep breath, your brain finally catching up with your mouth so you could speak.
“Uh- I’ve never.. um..” you started, trying to put the words together. 
Yoongi sat up next to you, resting a hand on your thigh and squeezing it reassuringly. “We know. We can take care of you, love.”
You shuddered, breathing becoming erratic as you contemplated their proposition. Before tonight, you would have never even considered doing something like this. But your high, combined with how turned on you were from Yoongi’s efforts earlier, was clouding your judgment.
“If you’re uncomfortable, we’ll drop it and forget this ever happened. Go back to relaxing, get some food maybe. But if you’re into this…” Hobi continued, moving his hand to play with your neck and jawline, sending chills down your spine.
“Say yes. We promise you won’t regret it,” Yoongi finished, running his hand along your thigh as he leaned in to kiss you again.
You sighed as you returned his kiss, pulling back after a few seconds.
“Okay,” you finally decided, heart threatening to beat out of your chest. You watched as the two men looked at each other, exchanging understanding glances.
Then, without warning, Yoongi pulled you into an intense kiss. You melted into it, pliant under his lips, leaning into him as he gripped the back of your neck tightly. Your tongues danced, Yoongi eliciting a quiet moan from you as he sucked your bottom lip between his teeth, nipping at it gently. You held onto the side of his shirt tightly, knuckles turning white as you felt yourself get lost in him. Suddenly, you felt a second set of hands on you, running up and down your sides from behind you.
“Let us see,” Hobi whispered in your ear, tugging lightly at the hem of your shirt. You nodded against Yoongi’s mouth, giving him permission, willing yourself not to get too self-conscious. These were two of the most attractive men you’d ever laid eyes on, and they wanted you. It was hard to accept that fact in your mind, but what was happening in reality proved it to you. Hobi pulled the shirt off you in one swift motion, running his hands down your back, tracing the band of your bra as he did. His soft fingers danced along your spine, unhooking the band expertly. He pushed the shoulder straps down your front, letting Yoongi take over by pulling them the rest of the way off your arms and tossing the bra to the floor.
Hobi’s tight grip on your shoulders tore you out of your trance, still dizzy from being devoured by Yoongi’s mouth. He twisted you in his direction, pulling you by the neck with his other hand, engulfing you in a kiss with intensity that overshadowed Yoongi’s by a long shot. They were both great kissers, but there was something about Hobi’s that completely destroyed you. All thoughts left in your mind were drained as you entangled your hand in his hair, shifting up onto your knees to get a better angle. Hobi lifted you by the waist, settling you over his lap, pulling you closer to him, hands resting on your ass. The mattress shifted, and you felt Yoongi’s hands cup your breasts, gently kneading them from behind you. 
“Fuck,” Yoongi breathed out, rolling your nipples between his fingers, drawing little whines from you as Hobi worked to unbutton the jeans you were wearing. You grabbed his hands, stopping him from going any further.
“Nuh uh, this isn’t fair,” you giggled, taking the bottom of his shirt in your hands and swiftly pulling it over his head. You couldn’t help but to ogle him. His warm honey skin tone was mesmerizing as you dragged your eyes down his torso, taking in his prominent collarbones, toned chest and abs, to the subtle trail of hair leading down beneath the waistband of his jeans. Your breath hitched as you traced your fingers along his clavicles, watching as he dropped his head back against the headboard. That position only made him more enticing, showcasing his neck, Adam’s apple jutting out. Yoongi’s lips touched the space where your neck met your shoulder, sucking gently as he continued massaging your breasts from behind. 
“She’s so fucking beautiful, isn’t she?” Hobi asked out loud, lifting his head, eyes shooting behind you to Yoongi.
“Mmhmm, she is,” Yoongi replied, continuing his ministrations on your neck and shoulders. You sat up straighter, arching your back, resting your head on his chest.
“Yours too, now,” Hobi said with a nod of his head. Confused, you lifted your head to look at him, and it clicked. They’ve done this before. And it was obvious there was a certain… dynamic, between the two of them. You tilted your head to glance back at Yoongi, watching as his eyes answered for him. It was almost as if he was cowering, afraid to say no. You felt his hands drop from your chest as he nudged you, pushing you forward a bit. 
Yoongi swiftly pulled his shirt off from behind you, and your eyes immediately followed the loss of fabric. His pale skin stood out in the dark room, and you could see the slight definition of his chest and stomach. Not as toned as Hobi, but still attractive to you, although in a different way. 
“Can I undo these, baby?” Hobi questioned, pulling at the button of your jeans again. You nodded, biting your lower lip as you once again willed your nerves away. His fingers moved deftly, popping the button open in no time at all. The zipper came next, then he pulled you up by your belt loops, taking you off of his lap and gesturing for you to sit on the bed next to him. 
Yoongi made his way over to you, sitting on your other side. His hand came up to push your curled hair behind your ear as he whispered, “You trust me, right?” You gulped, slowly nodding again. Words were failing you, your anxiety bubbling up in your stomach. “You trust us?”
Your eyes darted between the two men. With Yoongi, things were easy; he felt safe. But Hobi, you weren’t sure about. He didn’t exactly feel unsafe, but he was harder to read, harder to open up to.
“Hey, I know he’s a little intense sometimes. But he’s chill. It’ll be okay,” Yoongi reassured you, hand stroking your cheek lightly. You took a deep breath, steadying yourself.
“Just… take it slow, okay?” you requested.
“We’ll take it as slow as you need, baby. Just relax,” Hobi chimed in, shooting you a small smirk. With that, he hopped out of the bed, his erection prominently on display despite his tight jeans. As he walked over toward the window, Yoongi pulled you into him, his soft lips connecting with yours again. You sighed, letting him take the lead on the kiss, opening your mouth for him to explore. It was easy to get lost in him, easy to almost forget about the third person in the room.
“Here. Take a few more hits. It’ll help you relax again,” Hobi said from the window, blowing smoke out with a deep exhale. He joined the two of you at the side of the bed, handing you the joint again. You inhaled deep, this time more prepared for the burn of smoke to your throat. You exhaled slowly, feeling your high reignite almost immediately. You handed the joint back to Hobi, and he pressed it to Yoongi’s lips, allowing him a few short inhales before taking it back and returning to the window.
“Better?” Yoongi asked, his eyes searching yours. You breathed deeply, nodding, a small smile spreading across your face. Hobi joined you on the bed again, flicking the bedside light on as he did, his lanky arms falling around your shoulders as he pulled you to rest in between his legs, your back against his chest. 
“This okay?” he breathed into your ear, his hands wandering slowly down to your breasts as you nodded. “Use your words, we need to hear you.”
“Y-yeah, it’s okay,” you responded, and you let out a quiet whine as his thumb and forefinger closed around your nipple, pinching gently, sending shocks through you. Hobi’s skin against your back was warm, soft. He nudged your cheek with his nose, tipping your face to the side as he began kissing and sucking on your neck. Every kiss made you hotter, made your breathing more ragged.
“You know,” Hobi started, his tongue tracing a line down your neck, “Yoongi is really good with his tongue too.”
You shivered, glancing over at Yoongi, who was still beside you, palming his hard cock over his jeans now, eyes on you. 
“Show her how good you can be,” Hobi directed at Yoongi, raising his eyebrows as if daring him to object. Yoongi raised himself up onto his knees, leaning over to kiss the other side of your neck, trailing soft lips down to your collarbone and back up to your ear.
“Can I?” Yoongi asked you gently. You nodded, whispering a hushed yes in response. With that, Yoongi positioned himself in front of you, reaching for your unbuttoned jeans. “Say something if you want me to stop,” he said as he hooked his fingers into your waistband and tugged. Awkwardly, you lifted yourself to help him, and then you were pantsless; black, lace panties on display for the two men to admire.
Yoongi placed his flattened palms on the tops of your thighs, running them upward until he reached the hem of your panties. Fingers playing with the lace adorning your hips, his breath caught as his thumbs ran gently over your clothed mound. You squirmed, pushing your back harder against Hobi’s chest, hearing him chuckle in your ear. 
“So pretty..” Yoongi murmured, eyes never leaving yours, questioning you. You nodded in response, knowing he was asking permission to take off the only garment you had left. He moved quickly, removing the panties effortlessly. 
It was weird, being so exposed, naked in front of them, when all they were missing were shirts. Your anxiety revved up again, and you took a few breaths, not wanting to show your fear. “Um.. can you— can you take your pants off? Please? I’m a little self-conscious and I’ll feel better if we’re more even,” you said with a chuckle, feeling stupid to even be asking. Yoongi shot you an understanding smile, nodding.
“Sure, love. Anything you want. Hobi?”
Hobi tapped your bicep lightly, moving you out of his way. The two men stood, unbuckling belts and shimmying out of tight jeans in tandem. You couldn’t help but stare. In the light, they were even more gorgeous. Boxer briefs hugging their thighs tightly, erections on display for you to ogle. Your mouth dropped open, breath catching as your mind went haywire. This is it, you thought, this is really happening.
You weren’t the only one staring. It was subtle, but Hobi was still very obviously looking over at Yoongi’s hardened cock, tongue darting out over his bottom lip in desire. You had questions, but it wasn’t your place to ask them, so you let them go, opening yourself up to whatever was going to happen.
“You guys are so… ugh,” you scoffed, unable to contain your giggles. The two men came to join you on the bed again, taking their old positions; Hobi behind you, caressing your breasts and stomach, Yoongi between your legs, eyeing your bare pussy.
“Go on, then,” Hobi instructed, “make her feel good like we promised.” With his statement, he took one of your thighs in his hand and pulled it to the side, spreading you for Yoongi.
“Ah— fuck!” you cried out, not expecting Yoongi’s sudden onslaught to your pussy. He was quick. In the few seconds since you’d closed your eyes, tilting your neck to give Hobi access to it, he’d dropped down onto his stomach and buried his tongue in your folds. Gripping your other thigh, he was relentless. He worked his tongue from your clit to your entrance with wet, languid movements. Your hips bucked, your hand finding purchase in his long, dark hair. Hobi continued licking and sucking on your neck, fingers rolling and pinching at your nipples. The sensory overload had your head lolling back, eyelids drooping as you let out short little moans.
“No, baby. Eyes open, watch him,” Hobi murmured in your ear, voice dripping with mirth. You fought to keep your eyes open, your vision blurring as Yoongi sucked gently on your clit, watching you. You watched as he took his free hand, sucked seductively on the index and middle fingers, then brought them to your entrance, slowly inserting them into your cunt. You cried out again, your pleasure increasing tenfold with the added sensation. He twisted his fingers and hooked them just right, finding the spongy spot inside you in no time, slowly, rhythmically dragging them along your walls.
“Can you cum for us, love?” Yoongi asked you with a smirk, flattening his tongue and licking wide stripes up and down your cunt. Your body reacted, shaking as you got closer and closer to the edge.
“Yoongi— yesyesyes,” the words tumbled out as you came, your hips bucking as he gripped your thigh tightly, holding you in place to work you through your orgasm. His tongue never stopped, lapping at your juices as you gushed around his fingers again and again. You tried to escape his ministrations, but Hobi kept you still, shushing in your ear, chuckling at you.
“I was right, wasn’t I? He’s so good…” Hobi whispered to you, dragging his hands along your torso to rest on your still-moving hips. “I think she’s had enough for now,” he directed at Yoongi, who reluctantly pulled away, wiping his glistening lips and chin with the back of his hand.
You breathed deeply, gasping for air, feeling like your soul had left your body. You didn’t know what the fuck had just happened, but you didn’t have time to think about it because Hobi was pushing you up and off of his chest, crawling around you and over to Yoongi. You collapsed onto the bed as Hobi took hold of Yoongi’s neck and kissed him, then used his tongue to lap the remaining slick off Yoongi’s chin. “Can’t wait to taste you myself later,” he shot at you with a smirk, dark eyes glinting in the dim lighting.
You giggled, unsure how to reply. You knew what you wanted to do next though, so you sat up, ignoring your shaking thighs to get onto your knees. Sitting on your heels, you hesitantly reached out, tracing down the abdomen of both men with your fingertips, playfully snapping the waistbands of their boxer briefs. “Take these off,” you ordered, trying to sound confident. 
“Oh, she’s bossy,” Yoongi laughed out, biting his lower lip with a smirk. Without another word, the two men moved to remove their boxer briefs, leaving you on the bed, mouth agape as you stared. You couldn’t decide where to look. They were mesmerizing, naked in front of you. Your eyes moved up and down their bodies, one at a time, taking them in. You gestured for them to come back to the bed, and they did with no hesitation. Before you could chicken out, you went straight to Hobi, pulling him into a kiss. He reacted, kissing you back, hands holding the sides of your neck. As the two of you kissed, tongues chasing each other for control, you reached out to your side. Breaking the kiss for a quick second, you glanced down, reaching for Yoongi. Finding his hip, you scratched your nails across his lower abdomen, then down his pelvis. You wrapped your hand around his cock, pumping him slowly, teasingly. He hissed, hips bucking at the feeling.
Going back to kissing Hobi, still stroking Yoongi, your usual filter was gone. You broke the kiss once again, leaning in, kissing and nipping at his neck and throat. As you got to the space right below his ear, you whispered, “Fuck me, Hobi. Please.” His grip tightened on your neck just slightly, and you felt Yoongi’s cock react to your words as he whined in response. You looked over at him, chuckling a bit as you said, “Don’t worry, you’ll get me too,” licking your lower lip seductively. 
With that, Hobi pushed you back onto your heels, grabbing your waist to flip you over onto your stomach. Before you could even react, he pulled your waist up to position you on all fours, his hand running across your lower back gently. “This okay?” he asked you, voice less cocky than normal. You could feel his fingers running along your ass, spreading you open for the both of them to see. 
“Ye–,” you choked out, stopping mid-word as Hobi ran his fingers along your folds, collecting your juices from your entrance before inserting them. You yelped, oversensitive from your previous orgasm, but it didn’t take long before your pleasure was building again. Hobi was skilled, that was for sure. The way he crooked his fingers just right, hitting all your spots, was almost enough to throw you over the precipice a second time. That is, until he stopped. “Hobi,” you whined, breathing heavily with your face in the pillow under you.
“Don’t worry baby, we said we’d take care of you,” Hobi reassured. You heard a ripping sound, presumably from a condom wrapper, and then felt his hands gripping your waist. Your body jerked as you felt the head of his cock rubbing your clit. “Shh, relax for me,” he said as he inserted the tip of his cock in your cunt. The stretch was more than you’d expected, but Hobi took his time with you, pushing inch by inch into your pussy, until he finally bottomed out against your ass, hands still gripping your waist tightly.
Yoongi had climbed around onto the head of the bed, sitting close to where your face was still buried in the pillows. You looked up at him from the corner of your eye, watching his large hand begin pumping his cock as he watched you. Using his other hand, he pushed your hair off your face, stroking your cheek with his thumb. “You’re fuckin’ beautiful, you know that?”
You smiled at him, reaching up to touch his hand. He squeezed yours, but the intimate moment was interrupted by Hobi thrusting into you for real for the first time. You cried out, grasping the sheets as you were lurched forward. Looking up at Yoongi again, you were met with his signature smirk and a chuckle, followed by, “Sorry, love.”
His teasing tone left you wanting to do some teasing of your own. You picked yourself up as best as you could through Hobi’s thrusts, resting on your elbows. “Need some help with that?” you asked Yoongi, watching him jerk himself off, hoping your sultry tone had come through the way you’d wanted. He eyed you, biting his lip again. There’s something about that damn lip bite… you thought.
Yoongi lifted himself off the bed, kneeling now. He took your chin in between his thumb and forefinger, using his thumb to pull your bottom lip down. You stared up at him, batting your eyelids, as you kitten-licked the pad of his thumb, making him hiss. You leaned forward, placing gentle kisses on his abdomen, trailing them down his pelvis until you reached his cock. Looking up at him, you slowly ran your tongue along his length, from base to tip, admiring the prominent vein running down it. Yoongi groaned, throwing his head back in pleasure. Holding yourself up with one hand, you gripped the base of his cock with the other, steadying yourself, still on Hobi’s cock as he continued drilling into you. 
With Yoongi’s cock in your hand, it was easy to tell that he was one of the biggest you’d had. You knew you had relatively small hands, but seeing your fingers barely close around him excited you. Continuing your teasing, you dragged your tongue up and down, swirling it around the tip before taking it in your mouth. Your lips spread tight, you slowly bobbed your head, taking more of him in each time. Yoongi’s groaning egged you on, making you focus on giving him pleasure to the point where you almost didn’t notice Hobi still behind you. That is, until he lifted one knee and thrusted into you from a different angle, eliciting a loud moan from you as Yoongi’s cock was shoved to the back of your throat. Trying your best not to gag, you relaxed your throat muscles, swallowing around him. His hips bucked, his hands holding your hair back in a makeshift ponytail as he began fucking into your throat. You had basically no control at this point, being jostled back and forth by both men.
“Tap my thigh if it’s too– fuuuck– too much,” Yoongi gasped, barely able to get the words out as you hollowed your cheeks on his next thrust into your mouth. With that, you tapped his thigh a few times, making him stop immediately and pull out of your mouth. His breathing was ragged, cheeks flushed, sweat collecting on his forehead. 
“Can I ride you?” you asked Yoongi innocently.
“Fuck– yes, please,” he responded, and Hobi stopped too, pulling out before looking down at you.
“Baby, I’m not gonna last much longer,” Hobi breathed out, giving you a smirk as he smacked the side of your ass. “Your pussy is so fuckin’ good.”
You watched as the two men adjusted positions, Yoongi lying on his back and Hobi kneeling on the bed next to him. Yoongi ripped open a condom wrapper, sheathing himself quickly before grabbing you by the waist and situating you over his pelvis. Grabbing his cock, you rubbed him through your folds, moaning at the sensation. You lined him up with your entrance, slowly sinking down on him. Your moans tumbled out as you began riding him.
“Your tits look so good bouncing like that,” Hobi complimented you, and you shot an innocent smile his way as you upped your pace, leaning back to show yourself off a little more. You used one hand to balance yourself on Yoongi’s thigh, the other to begin jerking Hobi off. He’d removed the condom once he pulled out of you, so he was still slick from the lube on the inside of it, making your hand move smoothly up and down his shaft. He was about the same length as Yoongi, but had more girth, which explained the stretch when he was fucking you. 
“Let me suck your dick, please, Hobi?” you pleaded as Yoongi lifted you up and pounded you down onto his dick again and again. Hobi smirked at you as he lifted himself up onto his knees more, and you bent down to reach him easier. 
“Bossy and a filthy mouth? Where’d this come from?” Hobi taunted, grabbing your chin to force you to look at him.
“You bring it out,” you answered with a smirk, taking one last look up at him before you sank your mouth down onto his cock, breathing through your nose, taking him all in. Hobi immediately groaned, moving his hand from your chin to your hair, pushing it back away from your face to get a better look at you.
Riding Yoongi and sucking Hobi’s dick at the same time proved to be a challenge. They were both so needy; Yoongi whining underneath you as you brought him closer to release, Hobi trying his hardest not to fuck your throat too hard. I’m not a quitter, you thought for the second time that night, hyping yourself up. It was much easier for you to focus solely on Yoongi, and let Hobi use your mouth the way he saw fit.
Yoongi pulled your chest down to meet his, pulling you away from Hobi to engulf you in a passionate, sloppy kiss as you continued grinding on him, rocking your hips back and forth on his pelvis for stimulation on your clit. You moaned into his mouth, reaching over to pump Hobi’s cock as you kissed Yoongi. Pulling away, Yoongi kissed up the side of your neck to your ear, gripping the back of your neck as he did so.
“Love… are you on the pill?” he whispered, earning a quizzical look from you. You nodded, unsure where he was going with his question. His grip on your neck tightened as he whined again, then finished with, “I’m clean… Can I cum inside you? Please…” His breathing was ragged, his thrusting up into you becoming erratic.
“Please,” you whimpered, nodding again as you pulled yourself off of him, giving him room to remove the condom. Hobi looked down at you again, moving to go back to fucking your throat. You brought your face all the way to his pelvis, swallowing around his cock as you bobbed your head, hollowing your cheeks on each movement. 
“Fuck, baby, lemme cum in your mouth,” Hobi groaned, pushing your head farther down on his dick. You flattened your tongue on the underside of his shaft, swirling it around the tip each time he pulled out. You felt his cock begin to pulse, and you hollowed your cheeks more, sucking harder as he shot his cum into your mouth. You swallowed, warm liquid coating your throat. Hobi’s moans rang in your ears as you continued running your tongue along his dick. He shook, holding your hair as you milked him into overstimulation. You gripped his hips, not letting him pull away as you playfully sucked on just the tip of his cock, enjoying hearing his whimpers until you finally stopped.
“Baby.. f-fuck, that was so good,” Hobi stuttered, collapsing back onto his heels before falling back onto the bed. His breathing was shaky as he looked at you, his eyes roaming over your naked body with admiration. You smirked, patting his thigh playfully as you looked back down at Yoongi.
His eyes had darkened, his pupils blown with lust. You reached for his cock, rubbing his now-bare tip through your folds, listening to him whimper. You chuckled, then lined him up with your entrance, lowering yourself down onto him. He groaned, hands going to grip your waist. Instead, you smacked them away, a new idea coming to mind. You took both of his hands in yours and pinned them at each side of his head as you began riding him again. You heard his breath catch in his throat, and you knew… mission accomplished. 
“Awh, you like being restricted, hmm?” you asked, giggling, watching his face for his reaction. He stared up at you, puppy eyes watching your every move.
“Love.. don’t do this to me,” he huffed out, chuckling a bit. Your eyes met his, a glint of seduction playing in yours.
“Do what?” you teased, clenching your pussy a few times around his cock. “Are you gonna be a good boy and cum for me?”
Yoongi groaned, gripping your hands tightly in his. You continued bouncing on him, rolling your hips the way you’d figured out he liked. It wasn’t long before he was panting, squeezing his eyes shut in pleasure. “Make- let me cum, love. Please,” he breathed out, choosing his words carefully, begging you.
Yoongi’s body shuddered as he let out a loud moan. You finally coaxed his orgasm out of him, the sounds he made almost making you cum along with him. You leaned down to kiss him, still holding his hands down at the side of his head, licking and sucking on his bottom lip as you rolled your hips a few more times. His moans turned to whines and whimpers, including a few curse words. “St- Stop, please, baby. Too sensitive,” he gasped out. You stopped moving, kissing him a few more times before lifting yourself off of him and collapsing on the bed next to him, breathing heavily yourself now. Whether that was from the overexertion, or the fact that you were so close to a second orgasm, you weren’t sure, but you couldn’t help but giggle a little, throwing one hand over your face, covering yourself.
You felt hands on your raised knees, the strong grip letting you know it was Hobi as he pushed your knees apart gently. You uncovered your face, watching as he stared down at your spread pussy, Yoongi’s cum dripping out of you.
“You think you can give us one more?” Hobi asked, smirk playing at his lips as Yoongi ran his hand across your stomach to grab your breast, squeezing and playing with the nipple, sending jolts of pleasure through you. You whined and nodded your head, oversensitive but still wanting more.
Hobi leaned down, using his fingers to smear Yoongi’s leaking cum around the lips of your pussy. With that, he licked a broad stripe from your hole up to your clit, kissing your bud gently before looking up at you. “You taste so good, fuck,” he groaned, continuing his attack on you as you bucked your hips.
He flicked his tongue rapidly, the sound of his face in contact with your wetness turning you on even more. “Ah— Hobi,” you whimpered, “fuuuck, you’re so good with your tongue!”
He chuckled as he began lewdly sucking on your clit, using two fingers to fuck into you slowly at first, then picking up the pace as your body reacted. Your whines and moans tumbled out, but in the middle of a particularly loud cry of ohfuckfuckfuck, you were cut off by Yoongi’s mouth overtaking yours.
Yoongi leaned over you, kissing you deeply, massaging your breast with one hand, the other hand tangling in your hair. It was hard to concentrate, squirming under him as Hobi brought you closer and closer to your high. You found yourself bringing one hand down to entangle in Hobi’s hair, using the other to hold onto Yoongi’s wrist as you kissed him. Your grip on his wrist tightened as your senses were attacked from all directions.
“That’s it love, such a good girl for us,” Yoongi rasped, breaking the kiss to watch your face as you cried out fuckfuckfuck once again. Your body shook uncontrollably, Hobi’s fingers hooking your g-spot as you came. Yoongi kissed you once more, swallowing your moans as you drenched the sheets below you in your release.
“Shit, you’re a squirter too? Jesus, you’re perfect,” Hobi growled, still fucking into you with his fingers, lapping at the juices coming from your pussy, helping you ride your high all the way through. You struggled to close your thighs, trying to escape his tongue, but both of the men gripped one each to keep them spread. Your oversensitivity overtook you, choked sobs escaping your lips as all you could do was let them have their way with you.
“Fuu— please, Hobi, please!” you cried out, begging him to stop before you quite literally almost passed out from the sensations. Your vision blurred in and out, seeing stars as you mentally blacked out momentarily.
Hobi continued his teasing escapades on your cunt, licking gently as your body trembled underneath him. You pulled at his hair, trying to disconnect his mouth from you, to no avail.
Yoongi reached down, tapping Hobi’s shoulder and giving him a pleading look. “C’mon, I think she’s done,” he argued tenderly, tilting his head questioningly. Hobi finally pulled away, wiping his mouth with his hand as he raised himself back up onto his knees.
You laid there, curling yourself into the fetal position as you tried to get your breathing back in check. You shivered, aftershocks from your orgasm hitting you still. You felt the mattress behind you dip down as a warm body came into your space, pale arms enclosing you in a back hug. Yoongi nuzzled his lips into your hair, pressing sweet kisses to the back of your head, rubbing his hands along your arms to warm you.
“You okay, love?” Yoongi whispered into your hair, trying his best to comfort you. You nodded, clutching his arm in your hand to reassure him.
Hobi joined your cuddle on the other side, turning to face you, cupping your cheek in his palm as he pressed a gentle kiss to your lips. “I didn’t hurt you, did I, baby?” he questioned.
You shook your head, taking a breath before answering him. “No, I’m good. That was just… really intense.”
You felt both men shake as they chuckled, both doing their best to give you the aftercare you needed. “What do you need?” Yoongi asked.
“Do you wanna stay?” Hobi asked, swiping his thumb across your cheek. You reached out with the hand that wasn’t holding Yoongi’s arm, resting it over Hobi’s side. 
You didn’t know what you needed, but the desire to have physical contact with both men was overwhelming. Your shivers still hadn’t stopped, prompting Yoongi to pull you closer into him. Hobi scooted closer too, enveloping you in tangled legs and warm chests from both sides.
“Do you want me to stay?” you wondered out loud. The arms of both men tightened around you, giving you the answer to your question. 
“Please stay,” Yoongi requested from behind you, Hobi nodding his head in agreement. You sighed, a feeling of complete contentment taking hold of you.
“Okay, I’ll stay,” you agreed, “but I want to shower.”
The three of you untangled yourselves to head to the bathroom. Showering together proved to be a difficult feat, the hotel shower not being built for three. Somehow, you made it work though. You took turns washing, Hobi and Yoongi both wanting to be the one to help you wash your hair. You giggled over their disagreement, settling on Hobi with the stipulation that you would, in turn, wash Yoongi’s hair for him.
Exiting the shower, you did your best to dry off in the tiny bathroom together. This resulted in laughs, knocked over toiletries on the bathroom counter, and more than one occurrence of someone almost falling over. You changed into borrowed clothes, an oversized t-shirt from Yoongi and joggers from Hobi.
Climbing into the unused bed, the three of you curled up together, snuggling in each other’s arms. The softness of these men surprised you. They clearly had personalities they didn’t show very often, only in private and not to most people. But for some reason, they were showing those sides of themselves to you. They had shown you that reputations weren’t important, that people’s pasts didn’t define them. More importantly, they had shown you that your own reputation wasn’t something you should care about the way you always had. 
Your eyes fluttered closed, drifting in and out of sleep. Right before you fell asleep, you heard Yoongi’s deep, raspy voice from behind you whisper, “We didn’t ruin you like we said we would earlier. You ruined other women for us.”
You were beginning to think the same was true for them too.

Humbug
Tumblr media
Bangtan Christmas 2023 drabble 1 - read the rest here.
Paediatrician Dr Jung Hoseok is beloved by all his patients and everyone he works with. Unfortunately, his cheerful demeanour is only a front, underneath it all, he's a humbug.
Pairing: Hoseok x f! reader
Genre: Paediatrician Hoseok, social worker reader, fluff, smut
Rating: 18+
Word count: 6k
Warnings: Sex, swearing, medical emergencies
Hoseok looks up from the computer screen at the sound of his name. His eyes take a moment to adjust, the screen’s the brightest light in the otherwise darkened paediatric ward.
The nurse, Jihyo, holds out a mug of coffee, just how he likes it. 
Hoseok accepts gratefully, stares at the words on the side of the mug.
Big patience for little patients.
He blinks, indifferent, and goes back to prescribing.
His phone rings, muted because it’s 3am but he can hear it loud and clear.
He lifts it to his ear. ‘Dr Jung,’ he says by way of greeting.
‘You’re needed in the ER,’ comes the crisp tone of the ER charge nurse.
Hoseok sighs, doesn’t bother to ask why. ‘I’ll be there in 5.’
He hangs up, signs the chart and gulps the rest of his coffee, scorching his tongue and the roof of his mouth but preferring the burn to the desolate pang of his empty stomach.
The dry sandwich he’d bolted at 6pm the day before is nothing but a distant memory, churning its partially digested way through his intestines.
He takes a shortcut to the ER, cutting through the works alley between buildings.
Ironic that he has to pass the unofficial smoker’s alley to get fresh air.
Kim Namjoon, his friend and the resident cardiothoracics surgeon, nods and waves a vape pen at him in greeting. 
Hoseok lifts a hand back, pushes the back entrance door open that someone’s propped open with a brick, hospital security be damned, re-enters the hospital next to the mortuary.
He glances askance at the double doors. It always makes him feel a little twitchy passing the morgue in the early hours of the morning.
He reminds himself he’s a grown adult as he picks up the pace, allows himself a little sigh of relief as he turns the corner and sees the bright lights of radiology.
He’s greeted by a cacophony of noises as he enters the ER, monitors beeping, people barking out instructions, distant sirens as ambulances pull up to the drop off.
He narrows his eyes against the fluorescent white strip lighting, looking around for the charge nurse’s familiar navy tunic. 
He spots her by the resus bay, grimaces a bit at the carnage from a trauma that hasn’t been cleaned up.
‘Called for a paediatric consult?’ 
The charge nurse nods, brisk, waves an arm in the vague direction of the paediatric area. 
‘15 year old, intoxicated.’
With that she’s off, and Hoseok trudges away. 
The atmosphere in the paediatric area is less jarring, not so much because of the cheerful murals on the walls, but because it’s quieter, less hectic.
Hoseok assesses a teenager in a glittery jumpsuit who smells so strongly of alcohol and hairspray he reminds him of his own high school leaving prom.
He does an assessment, makes the mistake of asking the teen if he wants a drink on his way out of the exam room.
The teen chortles gleefully. 
‘Yeah, gin and tonic, hold the tonic!’
Hoseok rolls his eyes as he exits.
He’s looking for a free computer to write up his notes when there’s movement in the periphery of his vision. 
‘Need a computer?’ you ask. 
Hoseok blinks to wake himself up. You’re way too pretty considering the early hour. Judging by your attire, more casual than smart, your carelessly styled hair, he makes an educated guess. 
‘Are you with social services?’ 
‘Y/N, duty social worker,’ you confirm, nodding towards the exam room he’s just exited. ‘Jaebeom’s one of ours.’ 
‘Yeah?’ Hoseok asks. ‘I’m Hoseok, paediatrics. I’m admitting him until he sobers up.’ 
You nod. ‘His foster carer can pick him up in the morning, she’s got another child that she needs to drop off at school.’ 
You look around, yawning delicately behind your hand. ‘Is there a place to get coffee around here at this time?’ 
There’s an on-call room waiting for him, a bed, but Hoseok doesn’t hesitate. 
‘If you have five minutes for me to write up my notes, I can take you to the lounge?’ 
You give him a look he doesn’t bother to interpret, it’s now 4am and if you say no he can always go to bed. 
‘Yeah,’ you say. ‘Thanks.’ 
Hoseok types up his notes with you sitting in one of the empty chairs in the otherwise deserted paediatric department. 
When he logs off he’s amused to find you engrossed in sorting shapes to slot into a sphere. 
‘I can give you a few more minutes if you want,’ he says, dry. 
You laugh. ‘I’ll be quicker once I’ve had caffeine.’ 
You follow him down the corridor towards the main hospital to the lounge. 
Hoseok swipes his ID badge, pushes the door open. 
You take in the ancient mismatched couches, the big screen TV, the tiny kitchenette with the top-of-the-line coffee machine, the chipped mugs drying next to the sink.
‘So this is how doctors roll, huh?’ you say. 
Hoseok laughs. ‘Yeah baby, stick with me and I’ll show you a good time.’ 
He waggles his eyebrows, and you burst out laughing. 
Hoseok’s struck by your smile and the way your eyes light up. He clears his throat, tells himself to stop staring at you like a creep. 
‘Latte?’ he offers, picking up the nicest mug he can see. 
‘Yeah, thanks,’ you say. 
You’re fishing in your bag, emerging with a half-opened package of cookies. 
He exchanges your coffee for a cookie, gestures to one of the couches. 
He’s not expecting you to sit next to him, there’s plenty of space, but after a moment, you choose the seat beside him. 
You sip your coffees in silence. 
‘Been busy?’ you ask. 
‘Yeah, a little,’ Hoseok replies. 
Up close like this, he can see the tiny piercings in your ear, the gleam of gold through the fall of your hair. 
Again, he pulls himself together with effort. 
‘Have you been busy?’ he asks. 
You stretch a little. ‘Yeah. We’re short-staffed, like always. Also something about the cold weather makes people be shits to each other.’
Hoseok’s not surprised. Winter’s always hard, fuck Christmas spirit and all that jazz.
‘I hear you,’ he says. 
You sip your coffee, offer him another cookie which he accepts. 
Your phone rings in your bag, you glance at him as you fish your phone out. 
‘Duty calls,’ you say ruefully. ‘Thanks for the coffee.’ 
Hoseok’s about to bid you goodbye when you lean towards him, close, thumb brushing a corner of his mouth so quickly he barely registers it before you’re pulling your hand away. 
‘Crumbs,’ you say. There’s the tiniest twinkle in your eye.
Hoseok’s voice comes out raspy as he says, ‘Thanks.’ 
‘See you around, doc.’ 
You’re not waiting for an answer, shouldering your bag, tossing him one last look on your way out. 
Hoseok leans back against the couch, willing his heartrate to decelerate. 
Outside, the darkest part of the night’s just about over. 
***
Hoseok’s working hard to keep his bright smile on today. 
He’s had a parent ask him if he has kids and then tell him he couldn’t possibly understand how precious their child is, as he doesn’t have children of his own. 
He got an email from a conference he’s applied to saying due to the huge number of applicants, his abstract wasn’t selected for presentation. 
His intern, Hyunjin, seems to be on a mission to aggravate him as much as possible. 
‘We need a derm consult,’ Hyunjin tells him at the end of presenting the patient he’s just seen. 
Hoseok closes his eyes briefly, desperately summoning what remains of his rapidly dwindling stores of patience. 
‘Why do we need a derm consult, Dr Park?’ he tries not to bark. 
‘This patient has verrucas.’ 
Hoseok blinks, takes a breath. 
‘This patient needs nebulised albuterol and oxygen and an admission to paediatrics. The verrucas can wait until he gets better and the mom can stop by a pharmacy for some over-the-counter verruca treatment.’ 
Hyunjin stares at him. 
‘He’s satting in the low nineties,’ Hoseok points out, words coming out brisk, staccato. ‘I can hear him wheezing from here.’ 
The ER nurse behind Hyunjin’s already tutting and prepping the neb. 
‘Was there anything else, Hyunjin?’ Hoseok asks, getting up, staring at the rapidly expanding list of patients waiting for a paediatric consult.
His phone rings, and he pulls it out of his pocket with a sigh. 
‘Dr Jung,’ he says. 
‘Is that Hoseok?’ 
The voice is vaguely familiar, but he can’t place it. 
‘Depends who’s asking,’ he snaps. 
‘It’s Y/N, the social worker. You got me coffee last week at 4am?’ 
Hoseok has a flash of a memory, of your hand on his face. 
‘Shit, sorry,’ he says, running a hand through his hair, already sticking straight up in all directions, courtesy of the shitty haircut he got in the barbershop on his way in. 
‘Rough day, huh?’ you say, the sympathy in your voice making warmth bloom in his chest. 
‘Yeah.’ 
‘I was wondering if you wanted to go to dinner after work today,’ you ask, no preamble, so direct Hoseok takes a moment to process. 
‘I’d love to,’ he says. ‘I don’t get off until 8, though.’ 
‘I finish at 8 too,’ you say. ‘That works for me.’ 
You exchange numbers, and you promise to text him details. 
‘Hope your day gets better, Dr Jung,’ you say, the teasing note in your voice making him smile, genuinely, for the first time, today. 
‘It already is,’ he says. 
He’s still smiling when he hangs up. 
‘Hoseok,’ comes a voice from behind him. 
Hoseok raises a brow inquiringly at Hyunjin, who, inexplicably, is still standing there. 
‘About the verrucas,’ begins Hyunjin. 
‘Nope,’ Hoseok says, pleasantly, still smiling. 
He brushes past Hyunjin and picks up the next consult. 
***
It’s ten to eight and thank fuck for that, because Hoseok’s had enough of today. 
He’s getting changed out of the scrubs he was forced to change into after he was projectile vomited on by a chubby 10 month old, grateful he has spare clothes in his locker, when the door to the changing rooms opens. 
Hoseok pauses, shirtless, hands on the tie of his scrubs bottoms. 
Hyunjin blinks at him. 
‘Nice abs, boss,’ he says. 
Hoseok eyes both the fluffy white tee he was about to change into and the scrubs top he’s just discarded, questioning why he ever thought going into medicine was a good idea. 
He grits his teeth. 
‘Yes, Hyunjin?’ 
‘There’s a blue light call - breathless five year old, ETA 3 minutes.’ 
‘Jisoo is on tonight, let her know,’ Hoseok replies. ‘Also, close the door, damnit.’ 
Hyunjin looks surprised at the three medical students who have clustered behind him, all of whom are staring at Hoseok wide-eyed. 
‘Jisoo’s going to be twenty minutes late, something about a train breakdown?’
Hyunjin’s got the wisdom to stay out of Hoseok’s reach. 
Hoseok’s hand lands on his soft t-shirt, longingly. 
With a sigh, he bypasses it and reaches for his scrubs top, pulling it over his head. 
‘I’ll be right there,’ he says. 
***
By the time Hoseok’s assessed the breathless patient and handed over to an apologetic Jisoo, the time on the clock on the wall says 9pm. 
Hoseok pulls his phone out, dials your number. 
You answer on the first ring. 
Without waiting for him to say anything, you say, ‘The food’s still hot, I took the liberty of ordering for you. Are you on your way?’ 
Hoseok breathes out, a sigh of relief so profound he feels lightheaded. 
‘Marry me,’ he says. ‘I’ll be there in ten.’ 
He gets dressed in record time, emerges out of the carnage of the ER like a phoenix rising from the ashes. 
You’re the first person he sees when he gets to the restaurant, and you’re the best thing he’s seen all day. 
He greets you with a hug and a cheek kiss that you weren’t expecting, judging by the shy smile on your pretty face. 
‘I —’ you start, then you stop, adorably flustered. 
‘You’re beautiful,’ Hoseok says. ‘I’ve been looking forward to this all day.’ 
‘I was just going to say I ordered tempura that’s on its way,’ you say. 
‘I’m sorry I’m so late,’ Hoseok says. He’s got his hand on yours on the table without any memory of how it got there, but he likes the feel of it. 
‘Make it up to me,’ you say, easy. 
‘I’m going to do my best,’ he promises. 
***
At least four people have seen Hoseok’s bare chest today, but you’re the only person he cares about impressing, at least right at this moment. 
Because holy fuck, you’re beautiful, pressed tight to him on your poky couch, mouth on his, lips and teeth clashing as he kisses you over and over. 
You’re making noises that are driving him slightly crazy, making him feel hot and desperate, and he has to stop himself from looking at your tits in that black bra or he’s going to embarrass himself. 
Shit. 
Your hand’s slid down, brushing over his dick, and he’s so hard already he has to will himself not to nut right now. 
He tugs experimentally at the strap of your bra, and when you don’t protest he tugs it down, cups the weight of your left breast. 
God, you feel so good. Soft, warm, exposed nipple begging to be kissed. 
He runs his thumb over your areola, a slow pass. 
The low moan you let out gives him the confidence to scrape the tip of his nail over the peak of your breast. 
‘God, take it off, Hoseok,’ you tell him, and Hoseok’s sure as hell not going to make you ask twice. 
He slides a hand around your bare back, unhooks your bra, can’t stop himself from looking. 
His dick, already trying to stand at attention in its denim prison, twitches at the sight of your bared breasts. 
Hoseok’s trying to remember what colour briefs he has on, if it’ll be obvious when he takes his jeans off that he’s leaking precum just from looking at your tits. 
Then you cup the length of him over his jeans, and he finds he doesn’t give a fuck. 
Your skirt’s ridden up, your thighs part under his hand encouragingly. 
You’re so soft Hoseok can’t suppress a groan. 
He hooks a couple fingers under the gusset of your panties, tugs, and your hand lands on his. 
Hoseok looks up, hand stilling. 
Hoseok’s been told that he has a gorgeous smile, but just at this moment, you’re the one who’s blinding him. 
‘You can touch,’ you say, voice husky, teeth in your bottom lip. 
‘Yeah?’ Hoseok asks, his own voice raspy, dropped low. 
‘Yeah.’ 
‘Can I taste?’ 
You help him tug your panties down, over the curve of your ass that he can’t resist squeezing. 
He tugs the flimsy cotton down your thighs, helps you slide a leg out. 
He realises, belatedly, that you never answered his question, but you don’t seem to mind as he bends down, flicks his tongue against your pretty cunt. 
Damn, you sound even prettier when he’s eating you out. 
Hoseok licks into your folds, nudges your clit. 
He doesn’t have any hangups about giving head, especially not in a girl like you who seems to enjoy everything he’s doing. 
‘Shit, Hoseok,’ you moan, breathless, eyes squeezed shut. 
He pushes a finger into you, curls it, and you cry out so loudly his cock hardens even more. 
He tugs at the button fly of his jeans, loosening them for a little relief. 
‘Please tell me you have a condom,’ you plead, voice thick, so sexy Hoseok can’t believe you’re under him like this. 
‘Yeah,’ he says. ‘Why don’t you come and I’ll fuck you?’ 
‘Fuck me now,’ you tell him. 
Hoseok seals his lips around your clit, flicks his tongue, slips another finger into you, scissoring, pressing, slow, making every movement count. 
‘Hoseok!’ 
He doesn’t reply, because he can tell by the way your thighs are shaking that you’re close. 
He just needs another minute. 
He doesn’t know if you’ve realised that your fingers are in his hair, pulling, but he’s taking it as a positive. 
He keeps doing what he’s doing with his tongue, because you seem to like it. 
Your cunt tightens around his fingers, you call his name again, buck your hips into his face, and Hoseok doesn’t even need you to tell him you’re coming because he can feel you pulsing, can hear it in your voice, can feel the way everything tightens as you reach your peak. 
It’s the hottest thing he’s seen in a while. 
Fuck. 
Hoseok draws himself out of jeans, takes himself in hand, pumps once. 
You haven’t forgotten him. 
‘Get inside, Hoseok,’ you say, and as he fishes the condom out of his jeans you flip it out of his grasp and rip it with your teeth. 
Hoseok closes his eyes as you squeeze the tip and roll it onto his dick, concentrating on not coming in your grasp. 
You push him back onto the couch, get on top of him, and Hoseok could weep at the view. 
Your hair’s a mess, your lips bitten and flushed, and goddamn, your tits need to be in a museum. 
He doesn’t realise he’s said that last bit out loud until you burst out laughing. 
‘Shut up, Hoseok,’ you tell him, but you’re still riding him so there’s that. 
Hoseok grabs your hips, helps you move even though you’re doing a pretty damn good job already. 
‘You like this, Hoseok?’ you ask. 
Hoseok flexes his cock inside you. ‘Yeah,’ he says. 
‘I like it too.’ 
‘Yeah?’ 
You lean forward, tits bouncing in front of his face, and Hoseok thinks that if he died right now, smothered in between your breasts, he wouldn’t mind one bit. 
‘Go on, baby, take what you want,’ you say. 
Hoseok bucks his hips hard, up into the wet warmth of your cunt, tugs your head down to kiss you deep, open-mouthed, and comes with a groan, deep in his chest. 
Bliss. 
***
Hoseok wakes in a bed he doesn’t remember getting into, a bedroom that he finds soothing, with its neutral colours and soft sunlight filtering in the crack between the curtains.
There’s an arm flung across his chest, the soft curve of a breast against his chest. 
You’re turned away, boneless, in a deep sleep. 
His incorrigible cock stirs as he takes in the line of your back, down to the tempting curve of your ass. 
He spots the clock on the wall, groans when he realises he should really be up now if he wants to get to work on time. 
You’re still dead asleep even after he’s fully dressed, splayed out in the sheets, gloriously naked.
Hoseok pulls the duvet over your bare shoulder, resists the urge to kiss your upturned cheek, and makes sure the door’s locked behind him as he leaves.
***
Hoseok tightens his scarf around his neck as he waits for you at the entrance to the Christmas market you’ve managed to convince him to accompany you to.
The fact is, he hates the cold, he thinks all Christmas markets are gimmicky and overpriced, and after a run of incredibly busy shifts, he’d much rather be in bed with you right now than here.
Hoseok sidesteps neatly as he’s approached by a jovial couple dressed as Father Christmas and Mrs Klaus.
He’s about to pull his phone out to check on you when you hurry up to him, tuck your arm in his.
‘Hobi! You weren’t waiting long, were you?’
Hoseok looks at your bright smile and can’t bring himself to say anything other than ‘no, not long.’
Your lips are cold, but the kiss you plant on his cheek, next to his mouth, goes a long way towards improving his mood.
He doesn’t even give the three elves handing out tiny candy canes a dirty look.
‘Crepes?’ you suggest, seemingly oblivious to the fact that the longest queue is in front of the crepe stand.
‘Sure,’ Hoseok agrees.
You get in line and immediately turn to him, sliding your arms around his waist, under his coat.
‘How’ve you been?’ you ask.
Hoseok and you have met up a couple times over the last three weeks, enough that he’s left a spare shirt and some toiletries at your place.
You’re sweet, and fun, and he hopes you like him as much as he’s starting to like you. 
‘I’m better now,’ he says, just so he can admire the glow of your smile. 
‘You’re cheesy,’ you say, but the brightness in your eyes tells him you don’t mind. 
‘Nah,’ Hoseok replies. ‘You dragged us to this Christmas market, I know you’ve got your eye on one of those tacky reindeer tree ornaments, you don’t get to call me cheesy.’ 
‘I like the blue one,’ you say, conceding so easily Hoseok has to smile. 
‘Wait here, I’ll go and get it,’ he says. 
‘What crepe do you want?’ you ask, as he pulls away. 
‘Surprise me,’ he tells you. 
Hoseok walks over to the ornament stall you’ve been eyeing for the past five minutes, picks out the blue ornament, hesitates over the collection of tiny gold Christmas bauble earrings. 
He makes a decision, pays, shoves his purchases into his coat pocket and walks back to you. 
You hold a crepe out to him, and he accepts with a ‘thanks’, taking the warm paper-wrapped bundle out of your hand and taking a bite. 
The warm melted chocolate floods his taste buds, and he tries not to moan at the gooey sweetness of it. 
‘Good, right?’ you ask. ‘Worth the wait.’ 
You’re not waiting for an answer, skipping ahead, heading for the chestnuts and hot chocolate like you’re a walking Christmas cliche. 
Hoseok follows behind you. He finds he doesn’t really mind. 
***
You stick your key in the lock, unlock the door to your apartment, don’t bother with the lights before you turn around and slide your hands up Hoseok’s chest, fingers tucked under the lapels of his coat. 
Hoseok doesn’t have a lot to say, not when you’re looking up at him, lips pouted for a kiss. 
He slips a hand around the back of your neck, cupping your head, and tilts his head down to yours. 
‘Mmmm,’ you murmur. ‘You taste like chocolate.’ 
Hoseok leans down again, kisses you deep, tongue sliding into your mouth. 
‘It’s cold,’ he says. ‘Warm me up.’ 
He’s only half-serious, having you pressed against him like this is doing a hell of a job of warming him up. 
The wicked gleam in your eye gets him the rest of the way. 
‘Come on. Want to take a bath?’ you ask. 
Hoseok makes out with you in front of the mirror in your bathroom whilst the tub fills, is a short second away from guiding his cock between your legs when you pull away, bend over in front of him to test the temperature.
‘Get in,’ you say, and Hoseok’s always been good at following instructions. 
He slides into the warm heat of the bath, groans at the feel of it, reaches out to steady you as you climb in on top of him, right into his lap, impatient like he feels. 
You look so good bare and wet like this, the steam making tendrils of your hair curl against your neck, the tops of your breasts visible above the water line. Hoseok hadn’t thought he could get any harder but he does. 
‘Sit on me,’ he says, and there’s a slosh of water, wet skin against wet skin, and then the slippery warmth of your cunt, taking him in. 
The tips of your breasts jiggle in front of him as you move, and between the tightness of your walls around him and the prettiness of your moans, Hoseok’s in heaven. 
He slips a hand around your hips, helping you ride him, and curls his hand around your breast, lifting it out of the water so he can suck. 
You cry his name as he flicks his tongue over your nipple, and Hoseok squeezes the flesh of your hip, tight, under the water. 
Your rhythm’s erratic but it’s making the pleasure build, short, tight circles of your hips against his. 
‘Hoseok,’ you moan. 
‘Yeah?’ he mumbles, lips around the peak of your breast. 
He flexes his cock inside you, hums in satisfaction at the way your face goes slack, eyes half closed. 
Shit, you look so pretty in the throes of pleasure. 
Hoseok slides a hand up, fingers curling around your neck, thumb pressed into the hollow between your collarbones. 
Your voice is hoarse now, raspy like his, as he urges, ‘Go on, take it.’ 
He presses down, you gasp, and lose your rhythm entirely as you come around his cock, walls spasming around him. 
Hoseok takes over, fucking you through it, hardening until he comes with a low grunt. 
Wet, slick, warm. 
You’re tired, he can tell, the way you’re slumping against his chest. 
‘Come on,’ he says. ‘I’ll wash us off.’ 
He coaxes you into your shower with him, soaps over the marks he’s made on your skin, wraps you into a towel. 
By the time you’re both in bed, you’re more asleep than awake. 
‘Work tomorrow?’ you ask. 
‘I’m working,’ Hoseok tells you. ‘Want me to set an alarm for you?’ 
He doesn’t get an answer, you’re asleep on his chest already. 
He should get up, switch some lights off, but a moment later, he’s asleep too. 
***
Hoseok never thought he’d see the day he would want Hyunjin to be around, but he’s getting slammed, and the way things are looking, he needs all hands on deck. 
He’s jogging down the corridor to his second emergency call for the day despite it being only 10am. It’s busy even for the holidays. 
‘House fire,’ barks Mira, the ER charge nurse as Hoseok snaps on gloves. ‘Three children, five minutes out.’ 
‘How bad?’ asks Hoseok, prepping an IV access kit. 
‘PICU are aware, they’re sending backup when they can but they’ve got their own internal collapse, they’re dealing with an arrest on the neurosurgical ward,’ Mira replies. 
The doors slide open, and Hoseok can already tell from the looks on the paramedics’ faces that it’s not looking good. 
Fucking hell, where’s Hyunjin, what a day to be in resus training instead of on the floor. 
The second patient’s wheeled in as the first is still being parked, and Hoseok’s surprised to see you accompanying them, covered in soot, but he doesn’t have time to process now. 
All he can do is deal with what’s in front of him, so that’s what he does. 
***
It’s well into the afternoon by the time all three patients are stabilised and wheeled up to the PICU. 
Hoseok’s washing his hands mechanically in one of the resus sinks, buying his brain some time to come down from the adrenaline of the last few hours, when he hears his name called. 
‘Hey,’ you say, holding out a cup to him. 
Hoseok takes a big gulp of the steaming hot coffee. There’s sugar in it, he doesn’t usually have sugar in his coffee, but today it goes down smooth, giving him a much-needed glucose boost. 
He drinks most of it before he can muster a ‘Thanks.’ 
You don’t seem to be in a hurry. 
You’ve cleaned most of the soot off your face, but your top is ruined. 
Belatedly, Hoseok notices a plaster on your arm, remembers that you came in with the ambulance crew and the three kids. 
‘Are you ok?’ he asks. 
‘I’m fine,’ you say. ‘I was just outside the house when the gas oven imploded. I saw the kids in the window and got them out.’ 
Hoseok blinks. He hadn’t been expecting that. 
‘You ran into a burning house?’ 
You frown a bit. ‘It wasn’t burning then, there was just smoke everywhere.’ 
You cough, and he notices that your voice is a little hoarse. 
‘Besides, I was right there and I saw the kids, I couldn’t leave them.’ 
‘Shit,’ Hoseok says. He pulls you into a hug. ‘I didn’t know.’ 
‘Do you think they’re going to be ok?’ you ask, resting your head on his chest. 
‘I hope so,’ Hoseok says.
He pulls away. ‘Did they check your carbon monoxide levels?’ 
You laugh, and the tension in his chest eases a little. ‘Yes, doc, I’ve been cleared for discharge.’ 
You grab his hand, squeeze. ‘I’m probably doing better than you right now.’ 
‘This is why I hate Christmas,’ Hoseok blurts out. 
You’re looking at him, but you don’t say anything, and he can’t stop anyway.
‘Everyone goes on about Christmas and goodwill and people helping each other and yet the same shit happens as the rest of the year. It means nothing, just a commercial holiday that big companies use to make money out of dumb people.’ 
‘It’s bullshit,’ Hoseok says.
‘My parents feel the same as you,’ you say. You give him a smile that doesn’t quite reach your eyes. ‘They never celebrated the holidays.’ 
‘They had the right idea,’ Hoseok agrees.
‘When do you get off today?’ you ask. ‘I can make us dinner, if you want.’ 
‘I don’t think I’ll be good company,’ Hoseok says, honestly. 
‘You’re welcome, even if you’re the biggest grinch in the world,’ you say, with a sweetness that makes warmth bloom in his chest. 
‘I’m not a grinch,’ he says, half-heartedly. 
‘A humbug, then,’ you say. 
You reach out and touch his cheek. 
‘Come over, later, if you want.’ 
***
Hoseok finds himself outside your apartment after his shift, wondering if you really wanted him to come over. 
You don’t keep him waiting long, soon enough you’re opening the door, handing him a glass of wine, putting food in front of him.
Hoseok hasn’t even so much as showered, he came straight from work.
You notice him looking at the half-decorated Christmas tree you’ve got in your lounge, the open box of ornaments next to it.
‘I like Christmas,’ you say. ‘I thought I’d cheer myself up by putting up a tree.’
You seem to be worried about his reaction, so Hoseok grasps your hand.
‘Just because I’m a grinch doesn’t mean you have to be,’ he says.
You smile. ‘My parents never had a tree and I always wanted one.’
The food and the wine are going a long way towards making Hoseok feel normal again after his day.
‘Are you going to see them for Christmas?’ he asks.
There’s a brief shadow across your face, so quick he isn’t sure if he saw it.
‘They’re doing relief work in South Sudan,’ you say. ‘They’re doctors too.’
You ask, ‘Are you away for Christmas?’
‘Yeah, my parents and sister are upstate. I’ll drive up to them.’
‘Are they grinches like you are?’ you ask, teasing.
Hoseok laughs. ‘I’m the only grinch in the family. My mother goes all out, and my sister loves Christmas too.’
‘Sounds amazing,’ you say, a hint of wistfulness in your tone.
Your top’s slipped down over your shoulder, and between the way your skin gleams and the way your lips are stained from the wine, you’re so pretty Hoseok’s distracted.
He reaches out, tugging you into his arms. 
‘Can I take a shower?’ he asks.
‘Sure,’ you say. The mischievous twinkle is back in your eyes now. ‘Want company?’
‘Always,’ Hoseok says.
***
For once, you’re up before him the next morning. 
He must have been more tired than he realised.
You’re fastening your bra in a feat of dexterity he’s always admired. 
‘Shame I missed the show,’ he says, his voice raspy in the darkness of your bedroom. 
‘Happens every morning,’ you say. ‘You’ve got an invite every time.’ 
Hoseok laughs, rolls over, sheet around his waist. 
‘What time is it?’ he asks, propping his arm behind his head, looking out the crack in the window as the snow falling outside. 
‘It’s 6am on Christmas eve,’ you tell him. 
‘Shit, I gotta pack for tonight,’ he says. 
You pull a sweater on over a tee, sit on the edge of the bed to put socks on. 
‘I probably won’t see you until after the holidays, huh?’ 
‘I’m back in a couple days,’ Hoseok says, hand on the small of your back where your sweater’s ridden up. 
‘Yeah. Merry Christmas, Hobi. Eat all the turkey for me.’ 
‘I don’t even like turkey,’ he says, honestly. 
You laugh, amused, and cup his cheek. ‘See you after Christmas, grinch. There’s coffee in the kitchen.’ 
Your goodbye kiss makes him want to pull you back into bed with him. 
***
Hoseok pulls up outside his parents’ house, rubs the back of his neck, trying to get the crick out. 
He can see the living room and kitchen lights are on, and he already knows that when he opens the front door and steps in he’ll be greeted with familiar smells. 
Cinnamon. Fresh bread. The chicken dish his eomma always makes the night before Christmas. 
He realises with a start that he never thought to ask you what you’d be doing for Christmas. 
He’d spent an hour finishing decorating your tree after you left your apartment, so that you’d have a fully-decked out tree when you came back from work today, and had only belatedly realised that perhaps you’d have had fun decorating the tree together. 
He’d put the earrings he got you under the tree, hung the gloriously tacky blue ornament he’d picked up for you at the Christmas market. 
He’d packed the red lace panties you’d tossed merrily in his face when you’d stripped for him the night before, in the shower. 
Shit, maybe that was a creep thing to do. 
Too late now. 
The front door opens, and his sister stands in the doorway. 
‘Come on, what’s taking you so long,’ she asks. 
‘Coming,’ Hoseok says. 
He grabs his bag out the trunk and goes inside. 
***
Hoseok wonders if he’s even in the right place. 
You’d once told him, offhand, that you often volunteer at the shelter close to your apartment on Christmas day, and when he’d gone to your apartment and you weren’t in, he’d driven here. 
It’s a women’s shelter, and he’s trying to make himself look as harmless as possible as he waits to be let in. 
A woman dressed in a light-up jumper opens the door, eyes him suspiciously. 
Hoseok has a sudden feeling that he’s made a terrible mistake. 
It’s too late now. 
‘I’m Hoseok, I’m a friend of Y/N’s. Is she here?’ he asks
To his relief, the woman’s face transforms into a smile, eyes crinkling at the corners. 
‘You’re the doctor friend she keeps telling us about! Come in, she’s here.’ 
The woman grasps him by the arm, pulls him in out of the snow. 
‘She’s helping in the kitchen, you can help too, if you want.’ 
‘Sure,’ Hoseok says. Her grip on his arm is strong, there’s no way he’s going to say no. 
He’s led to an industrial looking kitchen, dated but clean, greeted by the sounds of chatter and Christmas classics. 
There’s mess everywhere, like Santa exploded, but all that falls away when he sees you.
You look up, spot him, and the smile on your face makes him smile too. He probably looks like an idiot, here grinning at you, but he can’t find it in himself to care.
You get up, and then somehow you’re in his arms, the reindeer headband you have on poking him in the jaw but he’s still not bothered.
There’s heckling, teasing, whooping, but all he sees and hears is you.
‘What are you doing here?’ you ask, holding him so tightly he can barely breathe. 
He likes it.
‘I forgot to wish you Merry Christmas,’ he says.
‘Merry Christmas, humbug.’
Hoseok wants to argue that he’s not a humbug, not really, but you’re kissing him, so he shuts up and kisses you back instead.

Even Though
Pairing: Hoseok x reader
Genre: friends/FWB(?)-to-lovers, smut
Summary: Hoseok comes running every time you call, even though he knows you don't want the same things. Unless, of course... you do?
Word count: 7.4k
Content: alcohol consumption/drunkenness, oral sex (m. and f. receiving inc. deepthroat and face-sitting), unprotected sex
A/N: It's almost Hobi's birthday, so have a repost because I won't be writing a new fic for it lmaooooo! This one has had a bit of an edit and I think is much improved for it tbh; I was always quite fond of this one (esp for having written it in one sitting between midnight at 2:30am lmao) but I've added a few bits and changed the ending so it feels a little more ~realistic I guess. I've also (I hope) knocked out the bajillion typos that I had left in it before whoops! anyway, enjoy!
* * *
You turned, huddled into a corner of the club, carefully cradling your phone against your cheek as if that would, in any way, block out the noise. The voice at the other end was quiet, groggy.
“Hello?” 
“Hoseok?!” you shouted into your phone. “Hoseokieeee! Can you hear me?”
“y/n? Are you ok?”
“No! I miss you! I miss you so much! I wish you were here; no one else is any fun. Can you come out, please? Come out and playyyyy.” 
You swayed on your feet and had to brace yourself against the wall with one hand, staring pointedly at a chip in the paint, studiously focusing on it, trying to get it to stop swimming in front of you, doubling and twisting before your eyes. 
“y/n, I was sleeping-”
“No! No sleeping! Come and play with me, Hoseok; I want to play.”
“How drunk are you?”
“Hardly,” you said with a snort, almost tripping over your own feet. “I’m basically fine, actually. I don’t even really feel drunk anymore.”
“Are you with people? Who are you out with?”
“I’m at work!”
“No, who are you out with?”
“Work! I’m at work with club at the people.”
“You’re at a club with people from work.”
“That’s what I said. But I don’t care about them... I just want you. I miss you. I want you. Please come out. Please, pretty please a thousand times.”
“Is someone looking after you?”
“Noooo. No one looks after me like you do. You’re the only one. You’re my favourite. Of all everyone, you’re my best one.”
You didn’t hear him sigh, didn’t see him rub his face with his free hand, staring up at the ceiling, facing off with the inevitable. He would come and get you. Of course, he would. That’s what he did. He’d come and get you and take you home and tuck you up in bed and leave water and painkillers on your bedside table and you’d tell him how much you love him and how much you miss him and you’d list everything you like about him and then you’d pass out and wake up in the morning and say you couldn’t remember what you said the night before. The texts would be right there in your phone but no one would mention them. Hoseok didn’t know if your amnesia was real or feigned but it didn’t really matter either way. 
He knew this is what would happen, and he knew that it would slice through his heart like a knife, but he agreed to come and pick you up anyway. Like always.
* * *
“Hoseok-y! Ho-socky and mittens! My yang-mal and jang-gab-yyy. You came!” 
You stumbled over to his car and made grabby motions at him through the open window. He got out and walked to the passenger side, opening the door for you and helping you in. You grabbed at his jumper and pulled his face close to yours. You sprinkled kisses all over his face as he tried to extricate himself from your clutches and return to the driver’s side. 
“-ease please please please please,” you were saying as he sat down, shut the door, and buckled his seatbelt.
“Hm? What do you want?”
“I want to kiss you, please!”
You took his hand in yours and kissed the back of it with a loud, noisy smack.
“Not while I’m driving.” 
“Plleeeeaaassse,” you insisted, leaning in as close to him as you can. “If I ask really, really nicely?”
“Not while I’m driving, ok? It’s dangerous.”
You groaned, frustrated, and threw your hands in the air. The world whipping by so quickly outside made you feel dizzy and then, suddenly, tired. The kind of drunken tiredness that was like an unexpectedly strong wave that knocks you into the sea, pulls you under. If you didn’t lie down now, immediately, you thought you would pass out. So you fumbled down the side of the seat for the lever to adjust the angle and flew back with an anguished wail when it tipped all the way backwards. 
“Are you ok?” Hoseok asked, eyes flicking briefly in your direction before returning to the road.
You were kicking your feet in the air, pressing your shoes against the roof of the car. 
“Hey, don’t do that,” he said softly, tapping your leg gently, encouraging them down.
Hoseok was just glad you weren’t trying to kiss him anymore. 
* * *
“Daisy, daisy, give me your answer, dooo,” you sang, with little consideration for your neighbours, as Hoseok half-carried you to your front door. “I’m half-crazy all for the love of you!” 
He carefully propped you up as he unlocked your door and helped you inside. As he shut the door, you took his face in your hands and continued.
“It won’t be a styyyyylish marriage! I can’t afford a carriage-”
A squeak interrupted your song as he lifted you, carrying you to your bed.
“But you’d look sweet upon the seat of a bicycle made for two! 
“Have we ever gone bicycling, Seoky? Can I ride a bike? I think so... I don’t own one, though, but we can rent them, right?”
You blathered on as he took off your socks and pulled the clips out of your hair and hung up your jacket.
“Come here, please!” you called for him as he brought you a stack of reusable cotton pads and your make-up remover. You took both from him and chucked them on the bed, then pulled him down next to you.
“I love you,” you cooed, rubbing your nose against his. “I love you I love you I love you.” 
You flopped back, head against the pillow, and dragged him with you. 
“I think you are the most best, probab- Stop it! Stop it!” You swatted at his hands as he tried to wipe your make-up off for you. “I don’t want you to do that. I want you to kiss me, please.” 
He turned his head as you reached for him and you kissed his cheek and his temple and his brow bone. 
“Hoseok-y, why don’t you want to kiss me?” You were whiny and pouting and your big, shining eyes were boring into him.
“You’re drunk, love.”
“No, I’m not!”
“Yes, you are.”
“But I still want to kiss you!”
He gently, but firmly, took your hands from his face and held them by your side. 
“If you want to kiss me that badly, you can wait eight hours and kiss m-”
“Eight hours?! No, I can’t wait eight hours! I can’t wait even eight whole seconds!” 
He wished more than anything that you weren’t drunk. He wished that you would be sober, sober and still this keen, still this loving. He knew wishes didn’t come true. 
You sighed, growling at the end, frustrated and pouting and pretending to be angry. But you did, at least, stop trying to kiss him.
“I just love you, that’s all,” you said, as he lay down next to you.
You turned on your side and pressed your finger against his bottom lip, flipping it up and down. 
“My name’s Hoseok,” you said, as if he were your ventriloquist dummy. “And I’m so pretty and I’m so smart and I’m so kind and I’m the best person in the world but I won’t let my girlfriend kiss m-”
Girlfriend. There was that word again. You wouldn’t dare utter it sober, and nor would he. He distinctly remembered the time he tried to get you to agree to a ‘date’ and how badly that went, so he wouldn’t dream of even thinking that word in your presence. But this wasn’t the first time you’d drunkenly referred to yourself as his girlfriend. Which was what made this all the more difficult for him. Somewhere, in whatever walled-off section of your mind (and heart), you were his; you were his girlfriend and you loved him and you were willing to let him love you. And the key to this little cage was, apparently, copious amounts of alcohol. So, you went out and you drank too much and you called him up and he came running because he loved that you need him, loved that he was the one you called even in the middle of the night. And you called yourself his girlfriend and he pretended for five minutes that it might really happen. 
“Just go to sleep, ok?” he said softly, tucking your hair behind your ear, pulling the covers up over you. 
“Not if you’re going to leave me.”
“No, I’ll stay. I’ll stay here.”
“Good.” 
You waited for him to lie down and then flung your limbs over him, holding him close to you, fisting his T-shirt. He kissed the top of your head and waited for you to pass out. 
* * *
You woke, in the morning (later that same morning), thick-headed and dry-mouthed. You chugged the glass of water Hoseok left on your bedside table, finishing it before you could reach for the painkillers, which you opted to dry-swallow and then immediately regretted doing. You unlocked your phone and grimaced as you noticed the time: it was 7am, which meant you’d been asleep for all of three hours. You felt ghastly but, somehow, also wide awake. You scrolled through your phone, looking through your fingers at the messages you sent last night. There were so many. 
You: Hoseeereeokkkkjjyyyy.
You: are ayou sleep?
You: I msiss you so mchu. I wish you wer hreeeeee. 
You: if u coome, I wlll love youf roever. 
You felt movement from the other side of the bed and rolled over, away from the embarrassment of your phone, to see Hoseok standing up. You watched him as he put his phone in his pocket, ran a hand through his hair once, twice, then turned around.
“Oh, you’re awake.” 
“Catching you in the disappearing act this time.” 
You sounded annoyed, but you weren’t really sure why. Just hungover. Probably.
He smiled and you wondered why he looked so shy. He was usually gone before you woke up, at least these days. Maybe he actually was embarrassed to be caught running out on you. 
“How are you feeling?” he asked.
You shrugged. 
“Like I drank an entire bar and then had three hours’ sleep.” 
“You should sleep it off; it’s still early.” 
You didn’t know what compelled you to ask, didn’t know why now was the time, but you didn’t have the capacity to filter your thoughts from your mouth.
“What’s the point of you staying if you always run off so early?” 
He blinked, taken aback. He replied slowly, hesitantly, almost reluctantly.
“You don’t like it when I overstay my welcome.” 
It was such a specific turn of phrase, you could hear a bell ringing distantly in your brain, as if you’d had this conversation before – though, if you had, you didn’t remember having it. 
“You don’t have to get up at the crack of dawn, though, just to get away from me. You can sleep in; you were also up at 4am so I’m hardly going to kick you out at 7.”
You thought he looked as if he was biting something back; his face was heavy with all the things he wasn't saying and you felt frustration settling on you, slowly taking the reins. 
“I don’t know why you bother, to be honest,” you told him, your lack of sleep and excess of booze making you sound meaner than you really intended. “Why get up, pick me up, take care of me and then just disappear? What’s in it for you if you don’t even stay for breakfast?”
“Well, it’s the only time you’re ever really nice to me, so...”
It hit you like a slap in the face.
“What?”
“What?” he threw back. 
“What do you mean it’s the only time I’m ever nice to you?”
“You and I both know what I mean. Take a look at your phone if you’re confused.” 
He turned and, after a second’s pause, started to walk out of the room.
“Hey!” you called after him. “You can’t just say that and leave! Come back here!”
He looked at you from the door and you almost didn’t recognise him; you realised you’d never seen him angry.
“What do you want me to say? We both know what this is. This...”
He floundered, looking for a word, betraying the fact that, actually, neither of you knew what this was, what had become of you.
“I want more than you will ever want; that’s a fact. I want what you can’t or won’t give me. I made my peace with that. But then you call me in the middle of the night and you tell me that you want me and need me and that you miss me and you love me and I come running every time because I know you will never say that to me sober, will never look at me in the cold light of day in the same way you look at me in the small hours of the morning. Maybe I shouldn’t. In fact, I know I shouldn’t, but I can’t help myself. That’s what I mean.”
Without another word – not that you could’ve managed one anyway – he turned on his heel and you heard the front door slam shut. 
He wasn’t wrong. You knew. You didn’t want to know but you knew. It had always been complicated between the two of you. 
* * *
A mutual friend introduced you because he thought you would like each other and he wasn’t wrong. But you hadn’t expected him to be so right; you were entirely unprepared for Hoseok. Entirely unprepared for the most perfect man to just waltz into your life and lay himself at your feet. You weren’t ready for that. You thought you would meet a guy who was basically fine (hopefully a little better than fine); a guy who would be fun for a few dates, good for a casual sort of arrangement, nothing serious. You thought you could see this guy and continue to sow your wild oats elsewhere. But Hoseok was different. 
You hit it off immediately. Yoongi introduced you at a party and you instantly connected, forgetting anyone else was there, talking all night. Drinking, too. When he offered to walk you home, you knew you would offer him a nightcap in your apartment. He knew he would accept if you did. Your memories of that night were slightly hazy but you knew the sex had been good because you had sent almost everyone you knew a message that was simply five mind-blown emojis. 
Hoseok had a party the following week and you were invited. He had been a perfect host and you had spent hours, desperately frustrated, trying to convince him to forget about all his guests and come rail you in his bedroom. By the time everyone else had left and he could finally give you his undivided attention, you had sobered up and your memories of that night are crystal clear. You had sent your best friend a text that read ‘I will never sleep with another man ever again’.
That was not a vow you kept. 
Hoseok was kind and caring and considerate in a way no one had ever really been with you before. It almost began to annoy you, the way he took care of you, looked out for you, thought of you when he passed something in a shop window. You had begun to feel claustrophobic in his affections; this wasn’t supposed to be a relationship. He wasn’t supposed to like you or, heaven forbid, fall in love with you. 
Your ‘dates’ had been casual up to that point because you had forced them to be. You would swing by his apartment after dinner with your friends or invite him over to yours when you had no plans for the weekend. When he had asked you, finally, to go on a real date with him, out to dinner somewhere, your response had been ‘why would we do that?’. That was when things had started crumbling. 
He had insisted you could keep it casual and still go out to eat together. He had insisted that it didn’t matter what it was called and, if you didn’t want to call it a date, he wouldn’t call it a date; he just wanted to spend more time with you. You had called your mutual friend and given him an earful for introducing you; you had got several earfuls back. Hoseok dropped the subject. 
Then he had started talking about a weekend away, going into the country, getting a cabin or something, going swimming in the lake and walking up the hills and stuff that all sounded far too romantic to you. You had asked him why the hell he kept insisting on treating you like you were his girlfriend. You had told him repeatedly and emphatically throughout that conversation that you were not his girlfriend. You kept telling him that you were friends and he kept telling you that he doesn’t fuck his friends like that. You told him maybe he should so he might lighten up a bit. 
You stopped sleeping together after that. Mostly. Kind of. You hung out more often and you thought that maybe you had been right, maybe you were just friends and you told yourself that this was probably the ideal outcome. But a few weeks later, at another party, you had both got drunk and immediately sought each other out across the crowded room and left without so much as saying goodbye. You tumbled into bed and you cursed yourself for ever giving this up, for ever thinking you could go without him. Until the morning came anyway. 
This happened a few more times and, each time, you grew colder and more distant in the morning. Hoseok wasn’t stupid and it wasn't as if he thought you would magically change your mind about dating him if only you had sex just one more time, one more time, but he wasn’t expecting you to behave the way you did. He had asked if you could at the very least not be rude to him, and you had shot back that overstaying one’s welcome was also considered rude and maybe he should think about that. He decided he wouldn’t sleep with you again.
It happened a few more times after that, too. Then he decided to give up drinking around you. It would’ve been easier to just cut you out, take you out of his life completely, but he was too far gone to do that. He would walk over hot coals for you; he knew it and so did you. 
* * *
You woke again much later that morning and thought about what Hoseok had said. You dialled Yoongi’s number.
“On a scale of 1-10,” you began as soon as he picked up the phone, not even bothering with a greeting, “how much of a dick am I to Hoseok?”
“Hello to you, too.”
“Please just answer the question.”
“Ok, well, what’s included on the scale? Does the worst include like, violence and murder?”
“No! Obviously not. Just like, for normal friends, scale of 1-10, how badly do I treat him?”
“Is 10 the worst?”
“Yes.”
“Oh, then 10.”
“What?!” 
“I don’t know what you want me to say. Everyone knows. You know.”
“I’m not that bad, surely.”
“Yes, you are.”
“Well then why haven’t you done anything? Why would you let your friend treat your other friend like that?”
“Well, firstly, because I don’t actually control you. Secondly, you may recall that we have spoken about this on a number of occasions and I have always made it very clear that you are being a dick and you are hurting his feelings and always told you that you need to stop dicking him about. But like I said, I don’t control you. And I don’t control him, either. I have also had numerous conversations with him about you and I have told him he deserves better-”
“Hey!”
“Are you seriously trying to argue with that?” 
“Well-”
“Exactly. I don’t know what answer you wanted from me but, of course, the answer is 10. On a scale of 1-10, you absolutely treat him the worst.”
“Surely he takes some responsibility for it at this point.”
Yoongi interrupted you before you could say more.
“Don’t you dare go there. You are my friend and I am saying this because I do actually value you as a person and, this aside, I do think you’re a decent person: you are treating him like a cunt and he deserves better and, if you were anyone else in the world, I would’ve cut him off from you months ago and literally kept him under lock and key to keep him away from you if that’s what it would’ve taken. 
“That said, I’m glad you’re asking the question. I hope this means you’re actually giving it some thought? You’re actually considering his feelings now? Considering your own, maybe?”
“What do you mean my own?”
“Your own feelings for him.”
“I don’t have feelings.” 
Yoongi hummed non-committally and you could almost hear his eyes rolling through the phone.
“Well, anyway, let me repeat one more time for the record that you are a total dick to Hoseok and you should treat him better.”
“Thanks very much.”
“You’re welcome!” he rang off brightly, ignoring the sarcasm of your comment. 
* * *
You were grumpy and hungover and tired and feeling unsettled, disturbed. It had been some time since you and Hoseok had discussed anything to do with... whatever it was that you were or had been or wanted to be, and it always made you uncomfortable. You did know, really, deep down, somewhere you tried not to look, that you were treating him badly, and on days when the hangover anxiety was at its worst, you felt sick with guilt about it. But you also felt sick at the thought of more. He wanted so much of you. More than you felt you had to give. He saw things in you that you were sure just weren’t there. And you didn’t want him to see the things you kept hidden, the dark things, the bad things, the things that would make him turn and run for the hills if he knew. He was too good for you and it scared you and it hurt you and you chose, simply, not to address it. To run away from it as far as you possibly could, which, when you’d had a drink or six, was not very far at all.
You showered to try to wash the discomfort away; you stuffed yourself full to try to distract yourself from the anxiety in your guts; you, briefly, considered drinking again but the thought brought bile to your throat. You stared, unseeing, at the TV, ostensibly watching a drama, but really replaying your own, real-life drama over and over in your head.
You wanted to be reasonable about it but the guilt and embarrassment and anxiety curdling in your gut made you feel sick and you couldn’t face it, so you chose not to be reasonable. You kept butting your head up against the fact that, if he really hated it that much, he could just not answer your calls. Sure, you could stop calling him, but you only did it when you’re drunk and who had that level of self-control after that many drinks? He didn’t have to come and get you; he didn’t have to walk you into your apartment; he didn’t have to put you to bed. He did all of that on his own. And maybe if he actually slept with you, it might've made a difference...
You tossed that thought aside because you knew both that it wasn't true and that you would not want to be anywhere near someone who would soberly fuck anyone even close to as drunk as you usually got. Hoseok was not that guy. 
The more you thought about it, the more annoyed you got. You knew that you couldn’t really think straight; you were not at your best right now, but you were annoyed. You were annoyed that you had to be tired and hungover and thinking about this. Why couldn’t he just keep it simple for you both and leave you alone? Or, at least, ignore you when you didn’t leave him alone? You felt like he was making his feelings your problem. And you were done with it.
* * *
You stood outside his door, hesitating. The taxi ride over had taken just long enough that your immediate anger was subsiding and a tiny part of your rational brain was waking up again. Then you thought about the texts you sent him last night and were so embarrassed at yourself that you needed to feel something else: guilt, shame, anxiety, anything would do. You hammered at the door. 
Hoseok opened it and looked surprised to see you, but nevertheless stepped back to let you in. 
“What’s up?” he asked. 
“We’re finishing this,” you told him and he looked at you blankly. “We’re finishing this now.”
“What do you mean? Finishing what?”
“This!” 
You gestured frantically between the two of you.
“I’m fucking sick of this!” you cried. “You want me so fucking badly? Then why don’t you do something about it?”
“What are you talking about?”
“I’m saying do something! I’m not drunk anymore! Why don’t you do something?” 
“Listen to what you’re suggesting. We’ve done that. And it’s ended up with us here. How do you think doing it again is going to lead somewhere different?”
You opened your mouth to argue but he wasn't finished.
“Besides which, I don’t want to just ‘do something’. That’s the whole problem. We’re in this because I want more than just something, I want more than just sex and you don’t. And when I made it clear to you that I wanted more, you ran for the fucking hills. Before you came running back, that is.”
You were surprised because he’d never argued with you like this before. You realised, with a lurch, that he’d never been angry with you before. You couldn’t put a name to what it made you feel; you were too busy swimming with frustration and anxiety and anger to be able to think clearly. You just knew that this was different so, maybe, this was good. 
“And why do you let me back, then? If I’m so awful and I treat you like such shit, why do you pick up?”
“I already told you. And you don’t need to tell me I’ve lost my fucking dignity and pride; you don’t need to tell me that I should be better than that, that I shouldn’t be begging at your table for scraps. I already know. Trust me, no one is as sickened by me as I am.”
“Sickened? Wanting me sickens you, does it? I sicken you, do I?”
“Yes, actually.”
“Fuck you, Hoseok.” 
You stalked closer to him, stuck a finger hard against his chest.
“Fuck you for putting that on me,” you spat. 
The world held its breath for one second and, the next, you were tangled up in each other, his mouth finally on yours again, his hands against your skin, yours in his hair. He lifted your T-shirt over your head and you sighed as his fingers grazed your nipple, quickly teasing it to a tight bud. You pushed down his trousers and he stepped out of them, pushing you backwards until your legs hit the sofa. He ripped off his own top before guiding you down until you were lying on the sofa with Hoseok at your feet, tugging on your jogging bottoms. You tilted your hips to allow him to pull them off and he brought his hands up to relieve you of your underwear. 
His eyes were black, darker than you’d ever seen them and he looked at you like you were in trouble, like he was imagining all the things he could do to you. You gulped and arousal pooled in your core; you were suddenly desperate for him, clawing at him until his mouth was on yours so you could taste him one more time. You palmed him through his boxers and he groaned into your mouth, swearing softly as he pulled away.
You were tingling all over with anticipation as he trailed kisses down your neck and onto your chest. He licked a broad strip across the mound of your breast and bit down hard on your soft flesh. You whimpered and arched your back into him, urging for more. He clamped his teeth around your nipple and sucked, rubbing his tongue over the stiff nub and you shivered.
“Oh god,” you whispered. You had forgotten it was this good. 
“Touch me, please,” you asked quietly. You didn’t want to break whatever spell was over you, but you were aching with a desire so strong, it almost hurt. And you knew how much he liked to hear you beg. “Please, Hoseok, please touch me.”
“Why should I give you what you want?” he asked, looking up at you through half-lidded eyes, his mouth slack, breathing heavy, voice rough. “When do I get what I want, huh?”
“Anything. I’ll do anything, please.”
If you had both been thinking with your brains, you would both have known this was not true. Your brains were, however, otherwise indisposed.
Hoseok sat back on his knees, looking at you, a small smirk at the corner of his mouth. He stood, briefly, to discard his boxers and then he looked down at you, slowly pumping the thick length of his hot, stiff cock.
You were on your knees in an instant, replacing his hand with your own. You brought your open mouth to his tip, softly licking across his slit, keeping your eyes on his as you wrapped your lips around him and sank slowly, slowly down his shaft. He grunted when he hit the back of your throat and outright moaned when you kept going.
“God, I’ve missed this mouth,” he said, his voice tight and gruff. He gripped your hair with one hand and slowly pulled you back. Then he kept your head still as he thrust back in, still slowly at first, gentle almost, and then, when you moaned around him, faster, and then harder when your fingernails dug into his thighs. His eyes never left yours, even though yours were swimming with tears and he was no more than a blur above you. He was always looking at you. Until his eyes fluttered closed and you knew he was close to coming, could see it when his eyes opened again, piercing in their intensity; you could feel his cock twitch in your mouth and you tapped his leg, signalling him to stop. 
He fell from you in an instant and you pushed him onto the sofa.
“Don’t think you’re the only one who gets to have their fun,” you told him.
You pushed him back until he was lying and you pinned him down with your knees either side of his head. He was impatient, wrapping his arms around your legs and pulling you down to him, your core wet and dripping over his mouth. He looked at you, making sure your eyes met as licked through your folds.
“Fuck,” he moaned. “I forgot just how wet you get. I’m going to fucking drown in you." 
He licked into your centre, drinking you in, taking you for everything you’d got while you rolled your hips against him, rubbing your clit against his nose, desperate for contact, for friction. You heard him chuckle low in his throat and you whimpered.
He was impatient to get started but he liked to take his time with you. He wanted you to beg: beg him to start, beg him to keep going, beg him to finish you off. He licked languidly through your folds, he sucked, he nipped, he returned again to fuck you with his tongue, all while you shivered and whined above him, pleasure building in you, urgency mounting. You grabbed his hair with both hands and tried to hold him still so you could direct yourself above him, but he was stronger than you and his arms kept you in place. 
“Hoseok, please. Please, I need to come.”
He hummed against you and you tugged on his hair. 
“Please, please.”
You tried harder to grind against his face, your clit throbbing and burning under the absence of his touch. He held you still. His face was buried in your cunt and you could just see his eyes, glinting at you, watching you fall apart under your desperate need for him. 
“Hoseok,” you panted. “Hoseok, please.” Your voice broke as your desperation peaked, every part of you alert and armed, like tinder just millimetres from a flame. 
He finally sealed his lips around your clit and you went up like a bonfire, ecstasy roaring through you, consuming everything. You were hot and sweating and writhing on top of him as he licked and lapped and sucked at you, pulling sounds out of you that only he could: loud, desperate, animal cries and his name over and over and over again. 
It was only when you let loose his hair and your legs quivered either side of his head that he loosened his own grip on you and you flopped backwards, lying on top of him with your head on his hip. 
“See how good I am to you?” he asked, wiping his mouth, sliding out from underneath you, towering over you once more. 
“Yeah,” you whimpered. You nodded. “Yeah, yeah, so good.”
“But you don’t fucking want me.”
“Yeah, I do. I do, Hoseok, god, I do. Please.” 
He rested his hands against the arm of the sofa above your head and lowered his face to yours.
“You know that’s not what I mean,” he said low, menacing.
He kissed you lightly and you lifted your head to meet him again but he moved too far off. He knelt over you, his heavy cock resting on your mound, and considered you for a while. This wasn’t usually part of your game and you were impatient, still needy for him, remembering the way he split you open, the glorious stretch of him inside you, the fluidity and power with which he moved. 
“Fuck. What do you want from me?” you asked.
He tipped forward, back over you, hands either side of your head, his face so close, you could barely see him. He moved and kissed you lightly just below the ear.
“Everything.”
He stood and put on his boxers and you were overwhelmed with anger again. 
“For fuck’s sake, seriously?!” you shouted, hitting him with a scatter cushion. “Are you fucking kidding?”
He turned to you, pulling his trousers back up and shrugged.
“No, I’m not kidding. I told you. I want everything. I want you, all of you, even this shitty part of you that treats me like crap, even the part of you that tells me you love me and then pretends to forget all about it in the morning, even the part of you that pretends to be sickened by the very idea of being my girlfriend, despite the fact that you refer to yourself as mine in the dead of night. Even your excessive drinking, even your emotional constipation, even your big, fat heart that you try to hide from everyone, even your insistence that you don’t give a shit despite giving a hell of a lot of a shit all the damn time, even your stupid fucking determination to do everything by yourself even when you actually need help, even your terrible taste in films and those god-awful reality TV programs you like, even your snoring, even your back turned back against me. All of it. All of you. I fucking want all of you, all the fucking time.” 
You stared breathlessly at him as his chest heaved, his breathing ragged. Your heart was in your throat, blood roaring in your ears. He was waiting for you to say something but you’d lost the ability to speak. Words flew into and out of your head without your being able to catch any of them. You couldn’t think. Your mind was buzzing, static blaring, nothing but white noise. You could only stare at him, bewildered, overwhelmed, utterly naked. 
His breathing slowly settled and he rolled his eyes and turned away from you. 
“Of course,” he muttered under his breath. 
He was walking away from you and you knew you had to stop him. Your brain had no capacity to filter anything on its way to your mouth and you said it before you even really knew you were feeling it.
“I love you. I fucking love you.” 
He turned quickly and watched you, wary, unsure. You didn’t let yourself think anymore. You staggered to your feet and took his hands and pulled him close to you. 
“I fucking love you,” you said again. “I love you, ok? And I'm not drunk this time and fucking fine, if I’m such a piece of shit but you still want me, then fine. Fine. Have me.” 
He was still looking at you, looking into your eyes like he was trying to solve a riddle.
“I’m not fucking with you. I’m not lying. I want you. I want you and have always wanted you and always wanted not to want you as much I do because you’re terrifying. Ever looked directly at the sun? Ever looked at the fucking face of god? ‘Cause I have and it’s you. Ok? It’s you. When I get drunk and I call you and I tell you that I love you, it’s true – that's true. It’s only you I call.” Your skin was hot, flushed, but from embarrassment now, from feeling skinned, raw, exposing yourself in a way that you never did, never wanted to. Your voice broke and you desperately didn’t want to cry, didn’t want this to be more embarrassing than it needed to be, didn’t want him to see how pathetic you really were even as you were telling him. “It’s only you I want. And it’s only when I’m not sober enough to fight myself that I can admit it. I’m a piece of shit and you’re a literal angel, a fucking god, but fine, if you really want to have me, have me. I’m yours.” 
He gently nudged your nose with his and whispered your name, his eyes carefully watching you. Then he kissed you, soft and slow, and wrapped his arms around you. His hands wandered, exploring your body, caressing any part of you he could reach, as his tongue rolled with yours, as you raked your fingers through his hair, as he moaned into your mouth, as he picked you up and took you into the bedroom. 
He lay you gently on the bed and slipped off his clothes once more. He covered your body with his and pressed kisses into your neck. Then he bit down and you keened, arching your back into him, suddenly violently, urgently aware of the slick between your legs, of your fluttering walls, desperate for him now. 
“Please, Hoseok,” you whispered. “Please fuck me, now.”
This was where you were comfortable. No more talking. Just Hoseok with his body over yours, his soft skin and softer lips, his nimble fingers and strong body, his eyes black as pitch as he looked at you like you were prey.
“Gladly,” he whispered back, his lips just grazing yours. 
He pressed himself against your entrance, eyes flicking between your face and your cunt as he watched himself disappear into you and watched your face, lest you betray any sign of pain or discomfort. But there was none. There was only the perfect, overwhelming fullness of him inside you and then the tight drag, feeling every contour of his cock, as he pulled back and thrust in again. 
“God, no one compares to you- fuck...”
He liked to watch your face as you whined and whimpered beneath him when he lifted your legs, pushing against the backs of your thighs, hitting you deeper, harder. You were hot and sticky everywhere; your skin was slick with sweat, your cunt slick with arousal. Every part of you was fit to bursting, coming apart at the seams. You felt like a dam about to break and then he took his hand down between your bodies and pressed hard, the motion of his thrusts knocking his hand until you were crying out for more, much more, crying out that you were close, crying out please, please let me come, let me come. And he did. The flood engulfed you; you were pulled through a riptide of pleasure, unable to scream, unable to breathe, suffocating in the swirling pool of your orgasm. Hoseok kept going, fucking you through your climax until he was coming, too, painting your walls white, falling under the surface of ecstasy with you. 
He fell down next to you and you lay, quiet save for your heavy breathing. When he took your hand in his, you let him, despite the thrum of anxiety in your heart.
“So,” he said, and he looked nervous when you turned towards him.
You were nervous but you’d said it now. And you’d missed him—you had. And Yoongi’s words were ringing in your ears, about your feelings, about how badly you treated Hoseok, and words from much, much longer ago, about how much you’d like him, what a great guy he was, how much Hoseok had liked meeting you, how much he liked you.
He was waiting for you to speak, not daring to go first. You looked down at your joined hands, looked up at the ceiling, looked at his face.
“I’m,” you began, your voice quiet and croaky. You cleared your throat but still didn’t know what words were going to come out. “I’m… I don’t know what to do.”
“What do you mean?”
He rolled onto his side, facing you, and you took your hand from his so you could use both to cover your face. You gave a frustrated sigh and slapped them onto the mattress on either side of you.
“I don’t know how to be a girlfriend. Not to you.”
“’Not to me’? What’s wrong with me?”
“Nothing! That’s my whole point!”
You squirmed, embarrassment heating your cheeks again, and ended up on your side, facing him.
“There’s nothing wrong with you and it’s… intimidating. I’m not like that. You said it yourself. There’s a lot wrong with me and-”
“That’s not what I said. I actually think you’re perfect.”
You blinked, stunned into silence.
“But you said all those things.”
“I still think you’re perfect. Even though I said all those things, even though you do snore and even though you have handled this situation in about the worst possible way and even though it’s hurt my feelings. Even though all of it. I still think you’re perfect and I still love you.”
You turned onto your back, staring at the ceiling, blinking away fresh tears.
“I think you’re crazy,” you told him.
“There you go; there is something wrong with me after all.”
He leant over you and cupped your cheek with his hand. When he kissed you, it was soft and sweet and it wasn’t going to go anywhere—nor did you need it to.
“I don’t want to get it wrong,” you whispered to him, his face still close to yours, his breath fanning over your face.
He shrugged lightly.
“It’s ok if you do. We can’t be right all the time.”
“You’ll still love me?”
“Yes. After all this, I still love you. I’ve tried not to, I promise. So, yes, I will still love you if you get it wrong. As long as you love me.”
“I do.” You wanted to say it back, felt it stick in your throat. You swallowed hard, blinked slowly, took a deep breath. “I love you, too.”
He kissed you again, still soft, still gentle, and then settled back on his side.
“So…”
“So?”
“So can I actually call you my girlfriend now?”
You rolled your eyes playfully and couldn’t stop the little thrill in your heart or grin on your lips.
“I guess, if you must.”
He grinned back at you, wide, beaming.
“Yes, I fucking must!”
You thought that sounded just fine.

Pandora's Box
Tumblr media
Keep a fire burning, however small; however hidden
⤑ pairing: Hoseok x reader ⤑ genre: angst, one-shot ⤑ rating: 18+ ⤑ word count: 3.1k ⤑ warnings: ANGST, mention of alcohol and drug use, depression, self-sabotage and unhealthy coping, non-explicit sex, unhappy ending. ⤑ note: Happy Hobi Day! I've been wanting to write a JITB-inspired fic for Hobi since forever (it's probably my favorite solo concept), and this idea has been sitting in my drafts since forever lol. I initially wanted it to be a scary one-shot, but it ended up being a very sad one-shot instead lol. I hope you guys enjoy it anyway!
Tumblr media
You notice it as soon as you walk in. 
Sitting on the coffee table is a box. Simple in design. Colored white.
You know that opening it, however, will unleash a whole myriad of demons you’re not ready to face.
Tumblr media
The first is the one called Lust.
The fateful night you met Jung Hoseok is a blur. Music at the party you wound up in is so loud, you could feel the vibrations of the deep base through the walls. A hip-hop song is playing, but you could barely make out the lyrics over the thrumming booms of the stereo.
A haze of grey smoke fills the room, distinct with the acrid scent of cigarettes and weed. In the fog, you’ve found your friend sitting on the couch, curled up against the guy she’s been dating on and off. At the moment, the two of them are very much on again, making out with little regard to everyone and everything else around them.
In the meantime, you’ve lost count of how many times you’ve refilled the red, plastic cup in your hands, downing hard liquor and letting the alcohol burn your throat, but you go into the kitchen to get more.
That’s when you notice he’s been looking at you. When you catch his gaze, he offers a friendly smile. And when you return it, he approaches you.
“I’m Hoseok,” he introduces himself, raising his voice so you could hear him over the music and the chatter. He stands close enough that you could smell his cologne. A mix of woody tones with notes of spice and citrus. “What’s your name?”
He’s cute, you think, as you tell him your name. And funny, you add to yourself, as he later says something to make you laugh.
You like him, you realize as your hand finds his and you start to lead him upstairs to look for an empty room.
You don’t remember much about the night you met Hoseok. Can’t recall a word you said to each other, or what he did to make you fall for him so fast.
But even in your drunken haze, you remember the heat of his kiss, the way his fingers teasingly slipped beneath your clothes as you eagerly unbutton his pants, and the subtle bite of his lip when you push him to the bed and strip off the rest of your clothes.
“I like you, Hoseok,” you confess, cheeks flushed. Probably from the alcohol.
Hoseok chuckles.
He grabs your elbow and pulls you closer until you’re hovering over him. He kisses you one more time, so sweetly you think you could melt. Then, he suddenly flips you over with your back to the bed. A glint of mischief is in his eyes as he leans down over you.
“I think I like you too.”
Tumblr media
The second is Greed.
After that night, you and Hoseok met up several times.
The first couple of times were almost repeats of the first night. You find each other at a party, seeming to share some of the same circles of friends and acquaintances. You could barely see straight when you hear Hoseok calling you, and you burst out in laughter because you’re genuinely surprised he remembers your name.
“Of course I remember you,” he assures you, flashing a bright, flirty smile. It almost falters with nerves when he asks, “Do you remember me?”
“How could I forget?” you tease back, taking his hand in yours again.
It feels better the second time. And by the third, when you’re just waking up from a throbbing headache, you’re surprised to see he’s still in the room with you, long after the party is over.
“I can give you a ride home if you want,” he offers. You have too much of a migraine to decline.
By the time he pulls up at your place, he gives you his number. Just in case you need to call him for another ride or anything else.
“Thanks, Hoseok.”
“No problem,” he replies, and there’s a look in his eyes that makes you feel uncomfortable. It’s kind. It’s hopeful. It’s something you’re not quite expecting from him. “Be sure to call me, okay?”
“Sure, Hoseok. Thanks again.”
He leaves it at that.
Even though you said you would, you don’t call him. Not until your friend dramatically breaks up with her boyfriend again and ditches you at a party out of town. Everyone else in your contacts is busy that night with work and other obligations. When you see his number, you hesitate for a brief moment before you tap to call.
“Hello?”
You instantly regret it. He sounds like he’s asleep.
“Actually, never mind. I can just call someone else,” you backtrack out loud, thinking, perhaps, a taxi or something would be a better idea. “Sorry for bothering you.”
“No, it’s fine,” he assures you, seeming to realize who is calling him in the middle of the night. “What’s wrong? Where are you?”
Hoseok drives all the way to get you. Even with the empty roads, it’s at least an hour drive one-way. It’s a sobering moment when he finally pulls up and greets you with a warm smile.
“Are you hungry? I can buy you food and pay for gas,” you offer once you’re in the car. You feel like you owe him that much.
“How about a date instead?” Hoseok counters, and again, he has that hopeful look in his eyes. “I’m not doing anything tomorrow night.”
If there was a perfect moment to tell him you aren’t interested in a relationship right now – that all the partying and drinking is to numb your mind from your own problems and stresses – this would be it. Clearly, he wouldn’t go out of his way and come this far if he isn’t interested in you.
And Hoseok seems like a good guy. You shouldn’t be stringing him along like this.
But you’re selfish. And that selfish part of you smiles and says, “Sounds good. What should I wear tomorrow?”
Tumblr media
Next is Envy.
Jung Hoseok, as you’ve learned, has it all. A loving family with a pet dog. A close group of friends who are like a second family to him. A great sense of fashion, and talent in dancing that could make him a worldwide star. He’s passionate about the things he wants, driven for the things he wants to achieve, and humbled despite his ambitious achievements.
It becomes apparent to you, very early on in your relationship, that he’s a man out of your league. Someone too good to be true.
You’re… undeserving of someone like him.
“You’re so nice to me.”
Hoseok smiles, but looks a bit confused as he peers up from the menu. For the first date, he decided on something fancy. A dinner with a view, where the waiters serve imported wine, and the dishes look like edible pieces of art. You’re both dressed well, blending with the other couples and groups in the surrounding tables.
“Why wouldn’t I be?” he asks you, a bit taken aback by your statement. “I like you.”
“Maybe you shouldn’t,” you quietly counter. The insecurities are getting the best of you. While Hoseok could make a name for himself, you’re just a nobody. Lost in life and without ambition. You waste your days numbing yourself from the mundane and loneliness.
What could someone like you possibly offer to someone like him?
Tumblr media
Then, Gluttony.
Honestly, for a while, you didn’t know what you and Hoseok were doing. When you first met him, there was only one thing you wanted. And somehow, that became something more.
Somehow, Hoseok continues to meet up with you and take you to nice places. He doesn’t expect sex from you every time either. It’s like he genuinely likes to hang out with you.
Once, he took you to an aquarium. You didn’t even think you cared about fishes and marine animals, but your eyes widen in awe when you see the luminescent glow of jellyfishes in the tanks. The corner of your lip lifts into a small smile when you see Hoseok clapping his hands and laughing when a sea lion claps its fins back at him. And you actually laughed when you dared Hoseok to touch a stingray at the petting station, and he nearly fainted when the tip of his fingers brushed against its back.
Another time, the two of you end up at a local diner after a party, a little drunk and a little high. The two of you order too many burgers and fries and decide to eat them by his car in the empty parking lot. Perhaps you were still intoxicated. Perhaps the food wasn’t doing anything to help you sober up fast enough, but you end up sharing more about yourself than you ever intended to that night. And Hoseok is quiet as he listens, not once judging you for every bad decision you’ve ever made. In fact, he tells you that he thinks the same sometimes – that he isn’t all rainbows and sunshine like you initially thought he’d be.
Then, there was the day he took you to the mall. He seems very adamant about couples clothes and making sure he matches with you whenever you two go out. It’s a bit embarrassing for you, if you were honest, but he seems to like it a lot when you’d color coordinate with him or if you’d wear the top for the matching set of his pants. An elderly woman is in line behind you two when you take a break from shopping to grab some pretzels and drinks when she comments that you look like a cute couple.
It hits you right then and there that you and Hoseok are a couple.
You’ve been showing up at his dance rehearsals and shows. He’s introduced you to his friends and you’ve all hung out at the beach. He comes to pick you up from work and take you to his place, which slowly but surely has a lot of your stuff in his space now.
Neither of you ever made the relationship official though. Yet, Hoseok smiles at the elderly woman, practically beaming as his hand tightens around yours and thanks her.
You don’t know what you are to Hoseok – if he really sees you as his girlfriend, someone he’s just dating but not that serious about, or maybe just a friend he’s intimate with – and you’re not sure what comes next.
The two of you find a spot to sit down, and you watch as he snaps pictures of the pretzels first before holding up the phone to take a picture of you and him together. As you pose for the camera, you could see how the two of you really do look like a couple. Matching clothes and all.
Whatever you are to Hoseok, and whatever he is to you, perhaps it’s okay to indulge in it while it still lasts. Even if a small, tiny, selfish part of you yearns for more.
Tumblr media
And then, Wrath.
Since the beginning of your relationship, you’ve been quietly counting down the days until it’s over. When Hoseok would find someone else and move on, just like any other lover you’ve dated. He’s too good to you, too kind. And you’ve been heartbroken and jaded one too many times to know that an inevitable end will come.
Even when an anniversary becomes two.
Even when he introduces you to his parents, and has started looking for a house you can move in together.
Even when his friends start to tease him and ask when they can expect an invitation to his wedding with you.
You’ll always fuck it up somehow.
“I don’t know why you’re so angry with me,” Hoseok tells you, exasperated. His patience seems to be running thin. “Did I do something wrong?”
It’s frustrating for both of you. Your suspicions. Your insecurities. Nothing good happens to you. A little voice in your head nags that you don’t deserve this. You don’t deserve him.
And there’s nothing he can do to prove to you otherwise.
“I think we need to end this,” you find yourself saying. Words that you don’t mean, but they fall out of your lips anyway. From self-sabotage. From pain. From fear. 
“You don’t mean that,” Hoseok calls your bluff. He doesn’t look angry or upset, but it seems like he expected this. The disappointment seems to hurt more than if he were to lash out on you.
Tears are brimming in your eyes, threatening to spill, but you refuse to cry. Not in front of him. You keep pushing him away, hoping he’d wake up and realize what you’ve always known – that he’s too good for you. That you’re the wrong person to share a future with.
“Just go,” you demand, your voice soft, barely a command.
You expect him to fight for you, like he always does. The back and forth breakups to make ups has become a vicious, toxic cycle lately.
“Fine.”
You’re stunned when you see him get off the couch and quickly walk out the door without another glance at you. This is what you want, right? It feels cruel to have expected him to stay.
And as your tears finally fall, a part of you – the part that truly, desperately loves him – hates you even more.
Tumblr media
Sloth.
That is a demon that stayed with you the longest.
Your heart feels heavy after the fight. So heavy, it feels troublesome to move. To eat. To think. All you want to do is rot away in your bed and sleep.
“Come on,” Hoseok’s voice gently calls for you. He opens the blinds to your bedroom, letting sunlight spill in. “I got the bath ready for you. Let’s wash up and I’ll make you something to eat.”
You close your eyes again, scowling with your face pressed against the pillow. Maybe you’re dreaming. A hallucination of your lover that your mind imagined, prompting you to get up and face the world already.
Or maybe Hoseok is just really too kind.
You get your answer when you feel his hands pull you away from the safety of your covers, and he helps you to the bathroom. He's picked up the empty bottles of beer and soju that littered around the room, you note, seeing them neatly put in plastic bags. The warm water feels soothing against your skin, and you soon feel his fingers run through your hair and massage your scalp.
You don’t say anything to him then.
You don’t say anything as he helps you dress up into something comfortable and sits you at the table. Groceries you don’t remember buying sit on the counter. He must have gotten them before he stopped by.
It’s only after he sets down a bowl of stew he made that you finally speak.
“Why are you doing this?” you ask, your voice so soft, you don’t think he heard you.
You’re undeserving of this. You’re undeserving of him.
Even now, that little voice in your head taunts that.
“I like you,” Hoseok simply answers, sitting next to you with his own bowl. There’s a sad smile on his face as he continues, “Even if you don’t feel the same.”
You sniffle. The part that loves him wants to scream that he’s wrong.
But the tiresome demon snuffs it out and keeps you quiet and complacent.
Tumblr media
And then, there is Pride.
Some would say, it’s the most evil of them all.
Pride keeps you from admitting your mistakes. From saying that you’re wrong. That asking for forgiveness is beneath you, and seeking for help and assurance is weakness.
Hoseok comes and goes often after you two have broken up. A stubborn part of him seems to think he can fix things. That in time, you’ll change your mind and take him back. That you’ll love him again, just as much as he loves you.
Even though, in your heart, you’ve never once stopped.
Pride is the vice that sneaks up on you. One you didn’t think you’d ever have, given the way the others plague your mind.
You only realize it when Hoseok stops visiting as much. When his calls are less frequent. When that look in his eyes that he used to only have for you starts to turn to someone else.
“Are you happy?” you ask when he tells you about her. He doesn’t need to. It isn’t any of your business. But he does anyway.
Because Hoseok loved you once. Perhaps, there will always be a part of him that still cares about you. That still likes you, despite everything.
A small voice in your head tells you to admit your feelings to him now. To tell him that you still love him. That you never stopped thinking about him.
Maybe if you did, things would’ve been different. Maybe if you did, he’d choose you.
But that kind of confession is undeserving of you. It kills you to see Hoseok moving on and loving someone else. But what little pride you have steels you from revealing the truth.
Even as he smiles and tells you, “I am.”
Tumblr media
The cruelest one of them all, however, stands before you.
You've been doing better. You've been trying. The drinking and parties have slowed down significantly. The demons that haunt you have quieted down. You and Hoseok are friends, despite everything.
Which is why you end up here, at his place, looking at the white box he has in his hand.
Hoseok smiles and shows you what’s inside the box. Hope is in his eyes as he looks at you.
And a myriad of demons and their vices scatter into your heart all at once.
Lust makes you careless. Throwing yourself away to carnal sins is how you two met, and perhaps, not much else more.
Greed makes you selfish. Makes you want to keep him for yourself, even if you’re the one who broke things off with him.
Envy makes you jealous. What does she have that you don’t?
Gluttony makes you indulgent. All you do is take, take, and take. You don’t give anything back, and that’s why he deserves more.
Wrath makes you angry. You want to scream, throw something at him, make it known that you’re upset. That you’re still in love with him.
Sloth makes you complacent. Despite your fury, you could do nothing. This is all your fault, after all.
Pride makes you a liar. You refuse to let Hoseok know how hurt you are.
And hope … Hope has you clinging to him, even now. It makes your heart yearn – that small, tiny part of you that keeps fighting for him. That keeps reminding you that you love him. Even as he stands before you with an engagement ring inside the white box.
“Do you think she’ll like it?”
You force yourself to smile, hoping that it doesn’t reflect the way your heart shatters. Hoping that, for a brief second, he’d look at you and say that he loves you still.
“She’ll love it, Hoseok.”

PART ONE -> PART TWO
Tumblr media
His loud guffaw is what drags your attention to him in the first place.
It isn’t his black sequin jacket; it’s not his flame orange hair; it’s not the gold ring that wraps around his pinky.
It’s his god-damned laugh.
He’s standing there with his friends, laughing at something that Jimin has just said, when you notice him.
Your ex-fiancé.
Your fingers clutch a little bit tighter around your flute of champagne as soon as you take Hoseok in. It’s been months since you’ve seen him. An awful, lonely stretch that has been a slow process to use as healing. Despite the time you’ve had, you feel your blood boil the more you stare at his irritatingly handsome face.
Because it isn’t fair. He shouldn’t be smiling all brightly like that. He shouldn’t be happy or joyful or unreservedly calm like he always was. He shouldn’t be the same old Hoseok that you grew to fall in love with at one point in your life.
Is that toxicity you sense? Some red flags in your personality? Meh. Perhaps.
“I promise that it’s not you; it’s me.”
As you stare at the way he raises his glass to his lips and tips his head back to take a sip of his own champagne, you can’t help but remember the phrase. The downpour on your car lightened to make it that much more deafening.
“It’s you?” you ask him. “How in the hell is it you? I’m the one who’s busy. I can make more time for us, Hobi.”
The man in the driver’s seat chuckles dryly and leans forward to place his forehead against the steering wheel, his black hair falling forward with the motion. “But that’s not the problem, Y/N. I don’t want you to make more time for us. You’re doing so well now and I know that you have the promotion in a few months. I can’t get in the way of that.”
You sit back in your chair and stare at him, holding his ring to your chest. It feels so heavy in your grasp that you think it could pierce through the floor of the car and drop to the wet pavement below.
“Hoseok,” Your voice is a broken whisper whilst the tears collect in your eyes, the dread of loss rearing its ugly head to gaze upon you. “You know that you mean more to me than anything I’ve ever known. I can drop everything and I- I can be better. Please,” you beg. “Please don’t do this.”
“But I don’t want to be the reason that you throw your life away. I can’t be that person that just…” He takes a breath and throws his hands up in exasperation. “… accepts others putting themselves down for me. I’m sorry. I just can’t do this anymore.”
He starts your car without waiting for your response and your desperate mind pushes you to reach out and grab onto his arm to try and stop him from running away. The rain continues to patter against the roof and windshield.
“I don’t know what you want me to do. This-” you cut yourself off for a moment and look down, searching for the words to say in the reflection of the street light on the shifter. “-it can’t end like this. Tell me what to do to make it right.”
Hoseok clutches the steering wheel tightly and shuts his eyes, exhaling with a low rumble in his chest.
“I’m not the one you should be doing things for, Y/N. You should be making decisions for yourself and doing things because you want to do them- not because I want you to.” He opens his eyes and turns his head away from you to stare out the window.
“I don’t want your world to revolve around me.”
The man you watch lowers his glass to the table that he leans on and continues to listen intently to what Taehyung has to say. You assume the younger one is going on about data and stocks with how serious the conversation became in the short span of a few moments. The smile that was on Hoseok’s face is nowhere to be seen now.
He looks a bit stern from the way he purses his lips and furrows an eyebrow. When it seems that Taehyung says something that boggles his mind, he cuts in to add his piece. He was never one to just be quiet and truly listen, you think spitefully.
“Y/N!”
Petty Officer Blake calls your name, drawing you away from the sight of your ex and back to his uniformed arm slung casually over your shoulders. The weight of his bicep presses the collar of your own uniform into the back of your neck even further and makes for a scratchy sensation that you put up with only because it’s your friend who’s close to you.
“What?” you ask, turning your head to look at him. His gelled hair has fallen into his forehead a little and begun to break uniform regulation, but you don’t bring yourself to care. The formal portion of the evening ended ten minutes ago and no one cares if a few hairs are out of place.
“I get that we’re relaxed now, but you’d kill me for not reminding you. I asked if you submitted the muster report to Ensign Trias.”
You clear your throat and speak confidently despite your inner turmoil, a skill you learned during your grueling weeks at boot camp.
“I did. She’ll be happy to know that we’re all present or accounted for.”
Blake agrees with a grin. “Yes, she will.”
With a final swig, you finish your champagne and place it on the table with thoughts of Hoseok creeping back into your skull. Why is he here?
You know the answer, though. Taehyung and Jungkook obviously invited him. Your shipmates are the reason you’d met Hoseok in the first place. Now that you’re back from your underway at your home port for the first time since early November, they obviously thought to reunite the group for the ship’s New Year’s ball.
Everyone in your group of friends left home, although it was only you, Taehyung, and Jungkook who decided to enlist to leave. The three of you met at boot camp fresh out of high school. Looking back on it, it feels like a lifetime ago.
The three of you are all chiefs now, years and years of service in the military under your belts, and you couldn’t have been happier when you found out that the both of them would be deployed on your ship for the next eight months.
On your first deployment as a young and inexperienced sailor, Taehyung was the only face you recognized amongst the sea of them aboard your ship. His friendship was what made you begin to actually enjoy the military in the first place. Long hours of watch and constant maintenance was draining, so when Taehyung invited you to go to a bar he was familiar with once you pulled into port again, you were all for it.
Hoseok was the first amongst his friends that you’d met. He lived in the local area that you were ported in and you’d instantly grown intrigued by him when you found out he was also from your hometown.
He sipped on bourbon and passionately took part in the conversation alongside Jungkook, who was completing a shore tour at the same base, while you watched him quietly. Being a naturally brave person with military confidence instilled in your psyche, you were the one to speak first when he wasn’t speaking with the others.
“What’s your rate?”
The man looks up from his glass and focuses on you with wide eyes whilst the rest of the table continues the conversation without him. He’s seemingly shocked that you’re speaking to him in the middle of their banter. After a beat of realization, he replies.
“Oh- um. I’m not in the military.”
You lean against the table your group is sitting at and place your chin onto your fist with a small smile. “You’re not? You definitely have the hair.”
He thoughtfully raises his hand up and strokes the side of his head where his fade tapers at his ear. “I’m not. I just like the style.”
“Me too,” you agree, giving him a neutrally flirtatious compliment. When he doesn’t speak again, you turn your eyes back to the center of the tables’ attention and pick up on the conversation between Taehyung, Jungkook, and their friend, Jimin.
“I told you that we were going to be home for St. Patrick’s Day. I planned ahead so that we could go to the Irish Channel and celebrate- and now you’re bailing on us?” Jimin is offended by the fact that Taehyung can’t make it to the holiday party he planned. That much is obvious by the way his eyebrows turn up in disbelief and he holds a hand to his chest.
“ ‘s not my fault,” Taehyung replies through a mouthful of fries. “Blame the powerful men who decide our fate by getting into fights with each other. Blame the system.”
Jimin sighs and puts his face into his hands. “Fucking hell.”
Jungkook grumbles to himself lowly, inaudible. With a snap of his neck, Jimin turns to him. “What?”
The younger one pipes up. “I won’t be able to make it either.”
“Fuck, guys!” Jimin exclaims. “What the hell happened to us? We used to hang out all the time!”
“Life happened, man.” Hoseok butts into the conversation and you turn to him to find that he’s staring down into his empty glass. “We grew up.”
You just stare at him in awe.
“Did you see that dude with the orange hair?” Blake leans into you to whisper the question. You don’t respond even though a quiet voice inside you bites back that Hoseok’s hair is actually flame orange, not just orange. “Someone’s definitely going to say something to him. This is a military event for fuck’s sake.”
Blake bringing up Hoseok’s presence makes the the walls of the large room feel like they’re closing in on you. Like the world is slowly becoming smaller. Blake is so unaware of the torment that you’ve suffered because of the man that’s he’s mentioned, but you can’t explain the heartbreak to him. You can’t explain the life that never was nor the dreams that were lost. Suddenly, it’s difficult for you to breathe.
The chair legs scrape against the floor as you stand from your seat. Consequently, Blake’s arm falls from around your neck and he looks up at you with questioning eyes at the abrupt action.
“Going to the bathroom. I’ll be back,” you mumble. You can’t bring yourself to be confident with the negativity that has filled your mind since you first noticed Hoseok.
“Want me to come with?”
You look at him with furrowed eyebrows when you realize what he’s just asked you and he puts his hands up in mock surrender. “Kidding! I’m kidding.”
You roll your eyes and push in your chair, readjusting your dress jacket draped over the back so that it doesn’t fall off when you let go of it.
Your steps are slow as you make your way to the corner of the room where the bathrooms are and it’s in your steps that you take the time to think about the past. Are you the one running this time? The more you ponder over your retreat from the room, the more you criticize yourself for doing the same thing that Hoseok did all that time ago.
“Hey Y/N,” A voice stops you in your path. “Ready for the new year?”
Laci.
Stiffly, you turn to face the woman and her lips are pulled into a knowing smile by the time your eyes reach her face.
Smug bitch.
The woman’s smile is patronizing as she regards you, her lengthy blue dress swaying when she leans onto one foot and places a hand on her hip. It fits her well, her curves filling it to perfection in a way that makes her model-esque lifestyle obvious. She doesn’t spend her time sweating over machinery or working out to prepare for fitness tests like you do. Instead, she diets and pays to shape her body in the way that she wants it. To your dismay, she’s utterly perfect.
On the outside.
“Hey there, Laci. You look beautiful as always.” You manage to mumble through the annoyance.
“Oh, thank you!” She smiles even wider. “Took me two hours to make everything look right. The dress is a little itchy, though.”
You try to keep your voice level with hers, a byproduct of your resentment for the woman combined with your need to appear kind. “I love the dress. It suits you.”
“You do? Hobi told me the same when he picked it out, although I don’t know if it’s really my style…”
Ouch.
You hold back the instant desire to clock her in the jaw because you are way above the notion of physically assaulting someone. Despite your handle on your emotions, you still loathe her.
Never, in any of the conversations you’ve had with her, has she missed an opportunity to rub in your face that her and Hoseok are dating. She has a knack for being able to drag your attention to something he’s bought her without saying so at first so that she can give you the time to unknowingly compliment it. It irritates the fuck out of you because she knows she does it. Laci parades her absolute prize of a boyfriend in front of you because she loves knowing that he loves her and not you.
“I see,” you quip, turning to begin leaving so that the conversation can conclude. “Regardless, you look great.”
“Thanks,” She giggles in her flattery, but there’s a touch of poison in the soft sound. “I feel so bad for you. You never get to dress up and look pretty.”
You take the hit and purse your lips at the offending remark. Frankly, you don’t feel confident dressed in anything but your uniform now. It’s second nature since you hardly find the time to be out of it these days.
“Yeah,” You breathe evenly whilst you turn away and begin stepping off. “It’s too bad.”
“Y/N?”
Your feet freeze mid-stride. Your heart skips a beat.
“It’s good to see you.”
Slowly, you turn back to face where Laci stands and immediately hold your breath at the sight before you.
And suddenly, it’s as if he just ended things with you yesterday.
Hoseok stands, his arm sliding around Laci’s waist, as she leans into his touch and presses her nose into the side of his neck with a smile. The sight alone makes you jealous- seeing him with another woman is heartbreaking- and you can’t help the acidic touch of spite beginning to taint your mind. Despite the pain the sight of him causes, you still know in your heart that that should be you.
Your heart pounds woefully for him. You miss him so fucking much and you passionately hate him simultaneously, but his attention on you makes your chest cave in under the weight of it. Meeting his eyes takes you back to the first time he looked at your own, He looks divine- just like he did before.
“Good to see you too, Hoseok.”
You hardly ever called him by his full name when you were together. The only times you did were when the two of you were talking about something serious. After your failed engagement more than three years prior, his nickname never got another chance to leave your lips.
“How’s everything?”
You close your eyes for a moment, taking a cautious breath to calm yourself before you answer his deep voice, and then open them again to find his left eyebrow taking on the ever-familiar position of concern for you.
“It’s alright.” Your voice seems to be lost somewhere in the midst of the pain that accompanies his appearance. “I’m making an announcement later on.”
“Is that so?” Hoseok smiles softly while he allows Laci to thread her fingers into his. “How late is later?”
“In about an hour. Don’t want it to get in the way of the countdown.”
You know the announcement won’t matter to him; it’s too late for him to change his mind. Him and Laci have been together far too long for him to come back to you.
The two of you broke up for a good reason- you’ll give him that. He had every right to feel the way he did because you didn’t give him the time and attention that he needed.
You regret many things in your life. No matter how much you’ve tried to live with no regrets, the blasted things always manage to creep back in and remind you of all the mistakes you’ve made throughout the years. The wrong decision that had bad results, the wrong statement that upset someone, the wrong timing of a poorly delivered joke; many of your past actions bother you in your day-to-day life.
Being unable to keep Jung Hoseok by your side is the worst of them all.
“Well, we definitely look forward to your announcement! I think Hoseok and I are going to see if we can get a few moments to ourselves before the fun starts.”
You nod your head only once as Laci smirks at you. Hoseok offers a tight-lipped smile in place of words and it’s in this moment that you finally accept that your once-fiancé has fully moved on from you. He doesn’t even spare you another glance before he turns around with Laci wedged under his arm.
The tear in your eye fights to come through to the corner, but you lightly snort to choke it back down and prevent yourself from crying at the sight of Hoseok turning his back on you.
Again.
Splash some water on your face. Take a deep breath. Don't let yourself cry over him again. You chant the words in your mind like a mantra as you stare into the mirror in the bathroom. The water you just splashed onto your face drips off of your chin.
The music continues to play in the dining hall without you. Although it's muffled, it serves as the perfect reminder that peoples' lives will continue to go on without you. You lean against the sink even harder with the weight of the statement bearing down on your shoulders.
A sharp knock on the door follows shortly after you lean your face into the sink again, prompting you to whip your head around to face the sound.
"Y/N?" Blake. "You in there?"
"Shit." You curse lowly while you fumble for some paper towels to press against your wet skin. After giving yourself a final glance and concluding that you still look like a wreck, you turn to the door and open it to step out.
"What's up?” You plaster a smile on your face as you greet his curiously concerned blue eyes.
"The captain's looking for you." His eyebrows are furrowed and the worry lines in his forehead are deeper than usual. When you move to step around him and avoid that conversation, he presses a hand to your shoulder to stop you. "Are you okay? What's going on?'
You sigh and look away from him to hide your predicament- one he is completely oblivious to. "Nothing. Don’t worry about it."
“Why? There’s obviously something wrong. We agreed we’d be transparent with each other.” He grabs onto your hand and brushes his thumb over the top. “Talk to me.”
Suddenly, you become acutely aware of the presence by the end of the hall where it turns to open up into the dining room. When you glance over Blake’s shoulder towards the movement, you find a flash of flame orange hair. With the revelation of who stands there, watching you, you are propositioned with two options.
On one hand, you could reciprocate Blake’s support and give in to his comfort like you want to, although it would appear much differently to Hoseok who watches from afar and only sees the action of Blake holding your hand. Perception is reality.
On the other hand, you could give your coworker and friend the cold shoulder to display to Hoseok that you are, after all this time, by your lonesome. Being alone like the way he left you would undoubtedly display how big of an emotional crater he left in your soul.
Maybe it would make him feel bad. You want him to feel bad. At least it’d mean he feels something for you.
Although you know you would have gone through with the second option two or three years ago- when you were freshly bitter from the split- your facade has hardened into a detached permanence since then. Time has not done you well.
You look up to Blake then, eyes beaming with the ache of tears that beg to break through, and smile into his concern as carelessly as possible so that you can brush off the emotion. Gently, you take his hand.
“I’m fine. Just a little wound up is all.”
The concern and worry seem to disappear from his face all at once as he smiles a toothy grin. “Announcement making you nervous?”
“Something like that,” you chide.
When you get the chance to peek over your friend’s shoulder again, Hoseok is gone. Damn. It was too easy to get him away. You can't help but wonder if you made the right decision because of how your heart slightly twists at the thought that maybe- just maybe- your ex-fiance still has feelings for you. You brush off the hope just as soon as it arrives.
With a knowing smirk, Blake backs away and swings his arm out in the direction of the ballroom, beckoning you to return to it. "Ladies first."
You giggle and begin walking. "How kind of you, sailor."
"Just trying to look chivalrous, miss." He smiles.
You maintain your smile as you walk back into the ballroom, searching for your captain while you avoid anything relatively close to the shade of orange you know to be somewhere on the dance floor.
You find your captain with a glass in his hand and the executive officer below his other arm, laughing with rosy cheeks at something one of the department heads has just said to the two of them.
"Gentlemen," you address them. "I hope you’ve been having a good evening. Captain? You sent for me?”
“Y/L/N!” He looks at you and smiles, the crinkles by his eyes deepening. “Good to see you! Is everything in order for your announcement?”
You nod as you respond to him. "Yessir. The DJ is ready."
“Good, good. Carry it out whenever you're ready, Chief."
Your eyes are cast to the floor in preparation of what you will be speaking into reality. "Aye aye, sir."
Time begins to slow as you make your trek over to the DJ’s table to ask for the microphone. Your legs struggle to move at a normal speed and your mind is attempting to escape all of the memories that surface. Stretched across a thousand agonizing moments, you prepare to move on from this chapter of your life while it flashes before your very eyes.
Robotically, you nod at the DJ who smiles and then hands you the mic, knowing very well what you are about to tell the crowd of people. It feels like you are separated from your body, but your tight grip on the cool metal grounds you and keeps your feet moving to the podium.
Once you come to a standstill and face the crowd, the DJ follows the movement of you bringing the mic to your mouth and lowers the music when you clear your throat.
"May I have everyone's attention, please?"
As expected from a military event, the people quiet themselves particularly fast.
You struggle to breathe for a moment, the weight of your announcement making the lump of nervousness in your throat that much more burdensome to breathe around. As the silence becomes deafening like the night it did in your car, you swallow thickly.
"I'm..." You trail off for a brief second. "I'm sure you all have heard that I will be making an announcement tonight and some of you were probably wondering what it will be."
The sailors of your division are, without surprise, gathered together in a large group. They cheer from the side of the dance floor closest to the bar. No surprise there.
"Hell yeah, Senior Chief!" You recognize GM2 Green’s chirpy voice and internally cringe at the rank she’s just called you. It’s the next rank above your own. The one you should be promoting to.
LPO Promise yells right after her, his deep voice bellowing amongst the hoots and hollers. "Get that promo, girl!"
Blake stands amongst them and smiles sadly at you because he is the only one, besides your captain and division officer, who knows what your announcement is.
Your smile is bittersweet as you regard your division’s support because- as much as you appreciate how happy they are for you- they are dead wrong.
Because you won't be promoting.
"Well, after a lot of thought and tons of paperwork, I can finally deliver my announcement with no going back."
You wince as you see your division grab onto each other with excitement.
"It’s with a heavy heart and so much appreciation to everyone aboard the Hybe that l inform you all that I have been cleared to be discharged at the beginning of February."
The room goes awfully silent before it erupts with congratulatory applause.
And suddenly, your eyes find the flame orange hair in the sea of natural colors.
Hoseok’s face is expressionless as you look at him. You know that he understands what this means for you and what it would have meant if he had just been a little more patient with your love for your work. If he had just waited three more fucking years, the two of you could have been together the way you both wanted.
But what you want is never in your cards. You don’t want to retire; you don’t want to leave your life in the Navy behind.
You don’t want to be physically handicapped.
But you are.
The gunshot wound you took to your shoulder two years ago still burns into your skin as you clench feeling back into your fingers. With so much nerve damage caused by the hollow point of the 9mm bullet that was shot into your axillary nerve, you lost feeling in your shoulder and a good portion of your arm.
Unfortunately, it served as the perfect basis for the Navy to discharge you. You have barely more than two months to find another occupation to make a living.
The trigger-happy dumbass who decided to load his magazine with the unapproved ammunition had accidentally fired it while you were still on range. Although he claimed that his pistol misfired after the ceasefire was called, you knew the guy- he was dangerous and careless when it came to gun safety and it resulted in your injury. Mishandling a deadly weapon will always have its consequences.
The callous sailor got his court martial and dishonorable discharge way before the Navy first informed you of your forced separation.
Thankfully, the people of your division were there with you during your recovery and supported you through the process of rehabilitating the damage. What none of you knew was that the Navy was tracking your injury the entire time and was able to disqualify you because of your permanent physical handicap. No matter how much you want to cry out that it’s not fair, you wouldn’t be able to kid yourself
Life isn't fair, but the decision to let you go is fair. Besides, how could you protect the people you love when you're broken?
You let your eyes leave Hoseok to look at your division who are already approaching the podium with obvious tears in their eyes. You’re surprised to find that you also have tears of your own- tears that were on the verge because of Hoseok and carried out by losing yet another ones- even if your contribution is minuscule- is what drives you in your career. To be retiring after only ten years of service utterly kills you when you think back on how long you planned to stay in upon your enlistment at such a young age.
The Navy is your life. And now? You have to let it go.
“Thank you to everyone- CO, XO, CMC, the entire crew- for being a great team during my last tour.”
The lump in your throat becomes monstrous as your tears stream down your cheeks and your heart breaks. Your voice is much too wobbly to continue for much longer. “It’s been a pleasure serving with you all and I can’t wait to see what you are able to do to carry out our mission towards a better future.” Sniff. “Bora haewa, sailors. May you continue to gain the respect that you all deserve. I wish you fair winds and following seas.”
With that, you leave the podium and return the mic to the DJ who was obviously moved by your speech and now exhibits shiny eyes that he attempts to blink away. Your own tears continue to run down your skin as you repeatedly wipe them off.
You only have two months to get your new life in line and say goodbye to this one yet you merely want to stand watch on the Hybe one more time and joke around with your division. Simpler times you took for granted are now so precious that you find yourself already missing the life even though you will be in for a few more weeks.
“Chief,” Green cries and throws herself on you as leave the DJ table. “Why didn’t you tell us you were leaving us?”
“Good for you.” You could recognize Isom’s drearily monotone voice anywhere even as you dig your face into Green’s shoulder. “You’re finally getting out of this hellhole.”
“Shut your mouth, Isom.” Promise growls. “We don’t need that negativity here. You can obviously tell this means a lot to her.”
“Whatever.” The man replies, rolling his eyes as he almost painfully reaches his hand out to give your shoulder a few pats. “Congratulations.”
Promise replaces the older sailor’s hand with his own, letting his fingers linger to squeeze in comfort. “Congrats on the retirement, Chief. I’m excited to see where your new life takes you.”
“Thanks guys.” You sniffle. “I’m sorry I didn’t tell you sooner but it was a pretty quick process that was really difficult for me to keep up with.”
"No, we get it." Promise says. Green emits a small 'mhm' as she raises a hand and wipes her nose with the back of it. You can't bear to go without hugging her small frame even more as you see that the white in her eyes has turned red. Promise faces her. “It’ll be good for her."
“And it's time for her to move on." You hear Blake walk up from behind the two of you as he adds on to what Promise has said and it is then that you decide to release Green so that you can turn to him. He smiles at you softly, expectantly, and you return the expression with one of your own, accompanied with outstretched arms.
The hug with him is warm and caring, a rare occurrence for him to be physically affectionate, yet it is because of the few drinks he's had that he decides to communicate his care for you- for once.
People filter to you as the minutes go by so that they can give you their congratulations or upset speeches about why retirement is the end of the road. As saddening as it is to think about what you should do after retirement with your injury, you don't blame your shipmates for bringing it up because they have no idea why you're retiring. They probably think it's easy for veterans to get jobs since they’re so much younger than you.
Your harsh reality is that there aren't many places who would hire a physically disabled person, as awful as it is. In your harsh reality, your veteran status nor your disability status will help much.
The clock at the head table- conveniently placed by the Officer-In-Charge of the event- reads 23:17. Forty-three minutes until midnight and the new year. Should you enter the new year wasted? Or should you just remain sober and cry it out as you truly lose everything you have ever loved?
Blake ensures that you have at least a few drinks in your system before the clock reads 23:45. He was never one to pass up free booze and neither were you, so why would you change that pattern for the new year?
By the time everyone gets settled together, it’s 23:52. You don’t find Hoseok anywhere- that goes without saying that you can’t seem to find Blake nor your other shipmates either. As far as a New Years’ kiss is from your mind, you hope for the bare minimum of someone you care for at least standing next to you. Anything else would just be the icing on the cake.
You search around for a few minutes, slowly feeling the loneliness you’ve felt for years creep into your skull with such adamant ferocity that you merely stand in the back of the crowd and admit your defeat with a large gulp of the drink in your hand. So far, the alcohol you hold and the one before it have provided you with the buzz that stirs in your veins.
At least you feel something.
Suddenly, you spot Blake in the crowd. It's not surprising that he has a woman under his arm- Blake is incredibly good looking- but it's surprising that the woman who wraps her arm around his waist is none other than Green. The sight makes you wonder when that happened.
23:58. Two minutes until the New Year.
You glance down at the drink in your hand and swirl the contents of it with intentions of downing it once the clock reads 00:00.
"Y/N!”
You look up at Blake and Green with a jump of surprise and realize that they are beckoning you over to them.
"Get over here!' Green yells with a rapidly-curling arm.
You make your way over to them quickly, joy coursing through every cell in your body because of the people you care about. It's a small thing that brings you happiness- simply being around your loved ones. When you come to stand next to Blake, you take a look at the clock again.
23:59.
Blake holds Green tighter to his side. You simply hold your drink a little tighter between your fingers.
The sailors of the Hybe begin chanting when it hits the thirty-second mark. In comfortable delight next to the two people who hold most of your heart, you chant with them and look around at the cheering crowd in utter enjoyment.
At six seconds, your voice dies before you can make any more sound. You can't seem to find any air to take into your lungs as you spot orange hair and brown eyes that hold rays of sunlight within them.
He smiles down at her with the light of a thousand glowing stars as she cups his jaw and smiles up at him.
“Three!”
The world slows.
“Two!”
His orange hair drapes onto her forehead as they both lean into eachother.
“One!”
He pulls her more tightly to him by her waist and closes his eyes.
“Happy New Year!”
Your heart breaks all over again as they kiss.
The fanfare of the New Year falls on your deaf ears because all you can seem to process is the constant string of deafening words in your head.
That should be me. That should be me. That should be me.
It's hard to know how, but you manage to break away from Blake and Green, who kiss with such intensity that you have to gasp for your own air. They’re so preoccupied with each other that they don't see the tears in your eyes.
The look on Hoseok’s face was all too familiar. It brings back distant memories you thought you had buried as you gulp down the last of your drink and make a beeline for the door. You need to leave before you make a fool out of yourself.
It's not specifically the kiss that is burned into your skull. The kiss stirs your envy and jealousy in a way that you are used to because of Laci's constant jabs. It stings, but you are familiar with it.
The thing you are not particularly familiar with is the sensation that came before the kiss. This is the sensation that forces you to leave the party through the closest exit.
The feeling is one of acceptance, although you're not sure of how far-reaching the damage is. It's heartbreak and it's happiness all in one emotion yet you cannot place a word on it at all because you've never quite felt it in the volume that you feel it now.
You're heartbroken because you mourn what you've lost with Jung Hoseok. You weep for what could have been yet never was and never will be.
And the never will be is also what you are happy about.
You are happy that the world will continue to be blessed by his smile of ardor. Even though the smile on his lips and the wonderful shine in his eyes are no longer meant for you, it's the fact that he will continue to give it to someone who has truly made him feel the way he used to make you feel. It's because of your never will be that Jung Hoseok has been given what you were too blind to give up- everything.
The look that Hoseok gave Laci is one that would make even a stranger proud of the beautiful things that he has accomplished. The smile of adoration and love is a look you know all too well. It's as familiar as it is heartbreaking.
You remember when he used to look at you like that.
Snow falls steadily on the sidewalk as you order an Uber. You receive a text from Blake that asks where you are, yet you can only seem to ask him to grab your dress jacket as a response.
Don't forget we have drills on Monday is all he says and you huff out a shaky breath of gratitude for how well he knows you. He knows that you need space and you manage to elicit a small smile past your cascading tears.
The Uber arrives soon after you give up on looking at your phone and when you manage to slide into the backseat of it, slightly buzzed, your body slumps into the seat all the way back to your apartment because of how physically and emotionally drained you feel.
You spend the rest of the night in your room, reminiscing about your time with Hoseok.
He asked for you to be his girlfriend in the parking lot that was in front of your ship. The sun was just beginning to set on the horizon of the bay it was ported in. After two months underway, he was there to greet you for family day.
Like any gentleman, he showed up with flowers and charmed himself straight into your heart after so many hangouts with you and the rest of the crew. It was the first time you saw that look in his eyes as he tilted his head down to you.
And right there, in front of so many of your shipmates, he kissed you for the first time.
Taehyung and Jungkook freaked out like the pair of spazzes they were. Hoseok flicked them off behind your back as you wrapped your arms around him, but it wasn’t noticed by you until hours later when Jungkook finally sent the pictures of your first kiss with Hoseok to you.
And you were in love with him then. Just as you are now.
If you really love him, though, you think it’s about time you finally let him go.
You lie in your bed, letting tears stream down to soak into your pillow, and delete the photo- along with all of the others that chronicled your happy days as Hoseok’s.
The number of photos and videos came out to be 1,753.
Tumblr media
It's much too difficult to ignore Namjoon’s voice as he speaks to Taehyung. The bass of it carries a lot farther than the falsetto of Jimin's, who stands with them.
"Yeah, I heard it was so bad that he had to change his locks."
"Oh, no way!" Jimin seems to laugh out of pure astonishment. "She's that crazy?"
Namjoon sips on his drink. “Apparently so.”
For a moment, they’re silent. You take this opportunity to rejoin the group and walk up slowly.
“Does Y/N know?” Jungkook asks.
You quirk your eyebrow when you get to them. “Know what?”
The five men turn to stare at you in surprise and you can see that the youngest one winces.
“Uh…” Jimin trails off, lost. “The…”
None of the men seem to be able to speak. You have obviously reentered the conversation at a bad time.
Finally, once he’s done looking at the others in disdain, Yoongi scoffs. “It’s not like he wants to keep it a secret. She’s our friend too.”
“What’s going on?” You set your drink on the table and put a hand on your hip expectantly.
Yoongi grabs onto your shoulder. “Laci cheated on Hobi.”
Suddenly, you forget about the comedic way the men look like deer caught in headlights. Instead, your blood boils.
“What?”
There’s no happiness gained from the news; you feel no satisfaction from learning of the reason behind the end to his relationship. Hoseok, as much as it was his decision to end things between the two of you, deserves nothing but the best that this world has to give. Knowing that he’s been wronged like this just makes you angry- and feeling a little protective.
“Yeah,” Taehyung has the nerve to laugh. "Turns out she was banging her manager to get that bonus she was gloating about."
"You missed a golden opportunity." Jungkook coughs and brings his soda to his lips to poorly cover up the statement. Taehyung looks at him crookedly, confused, and Jungkook sighs. “She was boning her manager to get that bon-”
Yoongi’s fingers grip a little more tightly into your skin when he cuts off the younger man. "I find this topic hardly appropriate for a retirement party. I just wanted her to know."
Despite his statement, you turn to him. "Is he alright? When did he find out?"
Namjoon speaks up instead, running a hand through his hair. "He was sulking around and hardly came out of his room for a few days. He finally told me about it the day before yesterday."
In the beat of silence that follows the revelation, you worry for Jung Hoseok. Misplaced guilt makes itself known in the feeling of your stomach dropping because you become acutely aware that all of his friends are here, at your retirement party, with you.
"But is he alright?" You repeat the unanswered question adamantly.
A brief pause passes between you and the group of men. No one seems to have the desire to answer you.
"He's a mess," Yoongi sighs, finally. "-but he'll be fine. You know he doesn't like it when we hover."
The older man is right. For as long as you've known him, Hoseok always prefers to do the comforting rather than be comforted. He isn’t a reserved man, but he is less likely to seek help from others because he has his own, private healing system.
Jungkook chuckles. "You should've seen the groupchat when we were talking about the party."
Shit.
You have to take a seat as you process what Jungkook has just said.
Hoseok has just been cheated on; he just broke up with his girlfriend; all of his friends are here at your party while he does whatever he does and handles his issues alone. You didn’t even have the courage to invite him.
The thought makes you feel awful.
“That’s enough.” Yoongi says. “We’re here to celebrate Y/N’s retirement. Let’s not bring up her ex-fiancé anymore, yeah?”
Quietly, the group murmurs in agreement and proceeds to talk about whatever it is they talk about as you turn around to greet more of your former shipmates. The party continues in full.
But you can't seem to get the thoughts of Hoseok out of your head.
Tumblr media
“We’re really glad you decided to join us. Your résumé is really impressive!” The woman, Kyla, walks just slightly in front of you as she speaks.
You smile and shift the box of your belongings in your arms. “Thanks! It was super tough trying to find work around here.”
She turns her head slightly so that you can see the smile on her face. “Oh, I get it. The job search is increasingly difficult these days. I’m glad we found you!”
The workspace is surprisingly homey when you take a look around. At the nineteenth floor of the office building, you expected cubicles and white walls, however, you’re surprised to find that each employee has their own office- granted, they’re a bit small- and each space is decorated differently.
“Employees are free to decorate their spaces as they deem fit. We, at BigHit, believe artistic freedom encourages more efficient production.” Kyla stops in front of an empty office and turns to you. “You are welcome to do the same, Y/N.”
“Thank you,” You can’t help but breathe out the graciousness a little, thankful for the opportunity that has been afforded to you. Although you’re on a military pension due to your honorable discharge, it’s not nearly enough to support a comfortable lifestyle, and you’re still so young- you can’t not work. “I’ll do my best.”
“That’s all we ask for.” Kyla gestures her well-manicured fingers into your space. “Please, make yourself at home. The chief supervisor of this floor will come by to help you settle in soon.”
You squeeze in through the door with your box in hand and misty eyes. After two months of job-searching and extremely strict budgeting, you finally have a job. Not only will you be able to relax in your apartment now, but you will be able to support yourself even more than you did before. Life is finally getting better.
Your new office is quite small; it seems to be a standard eight-by-ten workspace with a desk perpendicular to the far-right wall, a company-provided desktop computer, and a set of drawers against the wall that sit next to the desk. Although it’s not much, you begin picturing all of the ways you can make it your own because, after all, you’re extremely lucky to have landed the job in the first place.
“Again, Kyla,” You set your box down onto the desk and turn to her. “Thank you.”
She laughs lightly and begins walking towards the door. “I’m just here to make sure you’re happy and content. The chief supervisor is actually the one who signed off your application, so save all that for him. Let me know if you need anything- anything at all- and I’ll be here to work it out.”
You nod and reach into your box to start taking your things out. “Sounds good.”
“Oh, and Y/N?” Kyla pauses, halfway out the door, and turns to you again. You stop to look at her with questioning eyes.
“Thank you for your service.”
You’ve heard the phrase hundreds of times before, yet it still sends you into a fit of confusion when someone hits you with it.
Did you really serve? Was your time fulfilling maintenance requests and working on heavy machinery enough to be considered service to your country?
Are you enough?
“Uh,” You scramble for the right words awkwardly. “Th-thank you for your support.”
Kyla nods, smiles, and then leaves with the closing of your door.
Twenty minutes and an empty cardboard box later, you sit in front of your new desktop monitor when there’s a knock on your door. It’s a familiar cadence that taps to a specific beat, yet you can’t place where you know it from.
“Come in!” You voice at a volume a little less than a yell. There’s a beat of hesitation before the knob turns.
Ever so slowly, the door opens.
Flame orange hair.
Mocha brown eyes.
Jung fucking Hoseok.
Your heart drops to the floor as your ex-fiancé stands in the doorway. Suddenly, all of the air in the room seems to be vacuumed out. He’s stolen it, rendering your ability to breathe practically nonexistent.
“H-Hoseok?” You stutter his name. “W-what’re you-”
“I’m- uh-” He seems to be just as dismayed as you, eyebrows furrowing incredibly hard whilst he looks at the floor. “I’m the Chief Supervisor.”
Dumbly, you continue to stare at him in silence, at a loss for words. He speaks again. “I see you’ve- er- settled in well.”
His brown eyes are inquisitive and shocked, although you don’t understand why.
If anything, you should be the one who’s surprised seeing as he’s apparently the one who hired you. He saw your name on the application- allegedly, he’s the one who approved it- so why does it look like he walked into the wrong office?
“Kyla helped me out.” You struggle to make small talk with him, scurrying for development yet becoming unsure of how to go about conversing with him.
You eye Hoseok critically, wondering why he’s being so awkward, and note the way his natural brown hair begins to push the orange out to reveal itself at its roots in an almost natural way. It gives away that he’s gotten his hair done since the last time you saw him on New Years Eve.
His eyes look tired because of the bags under them, something you’re not used to, yet he seems to have gained the smallest bit of mass around his shoulders and arms. Despite what he’s gone through in the last few months, he looks good.
And as much as you’d love to hate him, you still can’t.
“I’m glad to hear that.” Hoseok’s voice is almost a whisper, yet you can still hear the slight edge of bass that you used to love so much. Almost delicately, he steps into your office and you eye when he places his hand on the door to close it. Then, he decides against it, dropping his arm back to his side while he takes another step to stand in front of your desk. “Were you able to access your profile yet?
It’s hard to speak past the lump in your throat as you look up at him from your chair. “Not yet, no.”
“Wait,” He shifts his weight to the other foot and crosses his arms over his chest almost as if he’s trying to protect himself. His body language practically screams that he’s uneasy. “Did Kyla give you your log-in information yet?”
“She didn’t,” you answer him.
He toes the ground awkwardly. “Oh…”
In the tiny and quiet space of your office, the two of you go silent. Neither one of you speak for a few seconds.
Hesitantly, Hoseok grabs the back of the chair in front of your desk and moves to sit.
“So…” His voice is uneven. His eyes meet yours and there is something in them that throws you off. “How’ve you been?”
The tension in the question is palpable, although you can’t seem to place what kind of tension it is. Is it guilt? Obligation?
Sexual?
Suddenly, you can feel his hands skating up your thighs and coming to rest at your waist. His arms pulling you close to his warm body. Loving kisses to your cheeks and the corners of your lips.
The ghost of his touch hits you like a truck as he sits there and expects an answer from you. You have to shudder out a breath to collect yourself from the notion of missing his touch and love.
“I’ve been better,” you clear your throat. “But I’ve been worse.”
Hoseok’s smile is small and courteous, although, it is easy to see that something has changed him since the last time you saw him smile. His smile was blinding and beautiful when you saw him on New Years, but now? The light that contested the sun is nowhere to be seen.
He looks down at the floor again, breaking the line of tension and allowing you space to breathe. “I guess that’s… good.”
It’s easy to see that he’s lost. His lack of confidence is horribly obvious in the face of your judgement. The room goes quiet again and you can hear your own heartbeat pulsing in your ears because of how much it quickens from the situation.
“So you’re the one who hired me?” You place your hands onto your desk and lean into the question.
Hoseok raises his hand to the back of his neck and rubs sheepishly. “Oh- uh- yeah. I did.”
“Why?”
It’s a million-dollar question. One that has a simple answer. It could be dealt with professionally and truthfully with the way Kyla explained it earlier. He could take care of it smoothly and cleanly and move on with your professional relationship. But you don’t want him to.
Because, after all this time, you realize-
You still hope that he will come back to you.
The possibility that he hired you because he still cares about you lingers in the back of your mind. Even if he still cares about you as a friend, you cling to that hope like a koala clings to a tree. Jung Hoseok is a good person and you want him in your life in any way that you can have him.
Despite the fact that he gave up on you.
“I saw your application,” he says. “You’re more than qualified for this job.”
The statement does not satisfy your hopeful thoughts; instead of the answer you wanted, you got the answer that you needed.
It’s enough for you to see a future with Hoseok in it, but it’s not enough for a future that you thought about once upon a time. It’s also enough for you to know that he is no longer in love with you. That ship sailed long before you were forced to accept it.
Now that you have gotten to speak to him cordially and seen that there is nothing but friendly attitude, you can finally put any remaining reservations you had for him down into the grave of who you used to be.
“Well,” you say after a moment, clearing your throat of emotion. “Thank you for the opportunity. It was really hard to find a job.”
“It’ll be nice to have you around.” He smiles the smallest of smiles.
And in his eyes, you see the beginning rays of a sunrise.
Tumblr media
“So, Y/N!”
Yeonjun yells a little over the music of the bar. You look at him with a quirked eyebrow.
“What brought you to BigHit?”
You set your glass on the table and turn your body to face him while the others continue to eat their food.
“I actually stumbled across it on Indeed! I saw they were hiring a technician and I needed a job really bad so I applied.”
He places his cheek on his hand and nods while you speak. When you give him the straightforward answer, he leans in a little. “Do you like it here so far?”
“It’s very nice.” You smile genuinely even though you’ve heard the question hundreds of times in the last four days. “It’s a huge culture shock.”
RaKeisha turns her head to look at you. “Oh yeah! You did tell me that you used to be in the military! I can’t imagine how much more lax it is.”
“Loads.” You laugh.
RaKeisha’s words seem to incite curiosity in Yeonjun.
“Oh?” He asks. “You were in the military?”
You nod and pick up your drink. “For ten years.”
The man hardly misses a beat before he says, “Military women are pretty admirable.”
The table of your new coworkers goes silent for a split second before erupting into a chorus of ohhhhhhh’s that make you duck your head in embarrassment.
“Christ.” You mutter and smile bashfully, blushing into your cup before taking another sip.
Another one of your coworkers, Soobin, claps a hand onto Yeonjun’s shoulder. “My man!”
As the dinner continues, you think more and more about the man who sits at the other end of the table. He casts you glances every now and then with the slightest of grins on his lips. He’s a little cute.
His blonde hair shines under the low light and his eyes are borderline flirtatious. You note the way his full lips twitch just slightly every time you make eye contact with him. He’s young- younger than you by a few years, you think- but he still carries himself like a man. Although his eyes are not full of sunshine, they are full of potential.
You like potential.
After twenty minutes of the back and forth, you finally smile back at him.
A chair scrapes loudly and the sound of cutlery clattering on the table distracts you from the moment. Everyone turns their heads towards the interruption.
Hoseok walks away briskly in his gray suit, however, you see a slight sway to his step that causes his path to become partially diagonal as he makes his way towards the restroom. It makes it obvious that he has begun to feel the alcohol that he’s been drinking.
He doesn’t turn around once.
RaKeisha furrows her eyebrows in confusion and leans in to whisper to you. “What was that about? Is he going to throw up or something?”
You brush off the strange action. It isn’t your business to meddle in his affairs anymore. To maintain the professionalism he set when he first came to talk to you, you shrug in response to your coworkers question.
“I don’t know. Something.”
Tumblr media
"♨️Keep your clothes warm♨️"
The caption on your screen is short as you stare at the photos you’ve come across.
You lie in your bed and hold your phone while you lay on your side, scrolling through Hoseok’s instagram page in deep thought. Only recently did the two of you begin following each other again.
In the photo collection that is accompanied by the caption, he wore a Louis Vuitton scarf and a brown skull cap that concealed his eyes. He posed in an elevator where he used a certain filter that caused a fish-eye effect from the floor of it. You can’t help the small smile at how dorky he looks in each of the photos.
He’s just as dorky as you remember.
Yeonjun
iMessage
The notification slides down from the top of your screen and you quickly click it to get yourself out of the mild stalking you’re doing.
Fancy some more ice cream?
You smile at the message and then look at the time on your phone. It reads 11:24.
Kinda late to be getting ice cream, don’t you think?
His response bubble pops up almost immediately after your message is delivered.
We went out at like
2 am last time
You scoff and tap away at your phone.
We didn’t have work the next morning lol
Yeonjun replies quickly.
So? We won’t be long. I’ll pick you up in 20 mins
You roll your eyes at him, wondering how he manages to be so cute yet so annoying. Still, you get up and put on some shorts and a t-shirt.
Your adventures with Yeonjun have become normal in the last month or so. Even though he is increasingly flirtatious with you, he likes to keep what you do together private. No one at work knows of how the first team dinner kicked off a potential situationship with the man. It’s a little exhilarating. It makes you feel younger.
You’d like to think it’s a little game; there is obvious tension between him and you, but you are not going to be the one to make the first move, given your history, and, apparently, neither is he. Whoever gives in first? Well…
You’ll get to that part when you get there.
You also find that it is much too difficult to ignore the fact that you are afraid of what Hoseok would think of you finally getting into another relationship after all these years. Even as you walk out of your door and take the elevator to meet Yeonjun in the lobby, you quickly remedy the thought with a correction- you are afraid of what your Chief Supervisor would think of two of his employees getting into a relationship.
“There she is.” Yeonjun stands by the door and smiles at you, raising his hand to offer you the smallest of waves.
You smile back. “Here I am.”
The two of you head to his car in the warm spring night, giggling like teenagers when you resume your efforts of trying to trip each other. You finally get into the car with slight tears in your eyes from how hard you were laughing when his face was graced with a look of shock after actually stumbling.
You can feel the chemistry as he drives. You feel the attraction. He is undoubtedly handsome as he props an arm up on the steering wheel and hums along with the song playing on his stereo. If all of his flirtations are evidence of it, you think that he just might have feelings for you.
Maybe you can develop some for him too.
Rita’s stares back at you as the two of you pull up to the establishment. A short line of people stand in front of the window where a young girl serves her customers. She looks like she’s still in high school. You glance down and unbuckle your seatbelt as the brief thought of I remember being that young skates across your mind.
Everything is routine at this point; Yeonjun waits at the front of his car for you, you smile at him and he smiles at you excitedly- ‘gosh, it’s really nice to be doing this with you’- and you walk up to the line together. The place is always busier on Friday nights.
But then a wrench is thrown into your routine.
Yeonjun’s arm encircles your waist when the two of you stop at the back of the line. There’s hesitation in the way he does it. You can feel it in the way his fingers just barely feather against your hip, pull away, and then press completely down so that they can fully hold you.
It’s impossible to stop your head from looking up at him in surprise. Although it’s not the reaction you think he wanted you to have, you try to play it off by arching an eyebrow at him.
“Getting a little brave, are we?” You tease.
“Only for you, sweetheart.”
His response is smooth and quick. The way he lowered his voice to say it makes your heart lurch in your chest and your breathing falter for just a moment. How exciting.
Countless customers are served and, before you know it, you’re standing at the front and ordering alongside Yeonjun. A brief argument about who will pay and you begrudgingly letting him hand over his card later, you leave the window with him stuck to your side.
As you wait for your orders, he keeps his arm around your waist. It’s almost instinct for you to place your hand to his stomach because of how close you are to him. You can’t let him be the only one that proceeds forward now that he’s made a move. Another boundary has been passed and it’s your turn to meet the new one.
Yeonjun’s heart beats against your fingertips, strongly and surely pulsing below his skin. He’s warm and comfortable in your embrace. Being so close to him, so cozy, has you feeling a type of excitement that you haven’t felt since…
Hoseok.
The thought of him turns you cold instantly. You don’t have the slightest clue as to why it feels like his name breaks you out of a stupor- what about your current situation makes you stupid?
When the young girl calls Yeonjun’s name for the order, you detach from him quickly. For whatever reason, you can’t stay near him after thinking about your ex. It feels wrong.
You know that the sensation of being with Yeonjun opens you up to a potential relationship with him- if nothing else, a friend with benefits situation that can take care of your needs- so why doesn’t it feel right?
Even as Yeonjun looks at you with furrowed eyebrows, confused with why you’re rushing away from him, you wince- a confirmation that something is up. You’ve never been one to conceal your emotions well- you faced hell for it during your time in the military.
When you walk back over to him with your orders in hand, he still has the same look of perplexity on his face.
“You okay?” He asks.
You were expecting the question. It doesn't make answering it any easier, though.
"I..." You trail. "I don't know."
His eyes get a little wide and he clasps his hands together nervously. "D-did I... Did I make you uncomfortable?"
Quickly, you rush to comfort his worries. "No no, you didn't." You take a breath to try calming yourself so that you can organize your raging thoughts. "I'm just... thinking about some things."
"Some... things..." Yeonjun echoes what you've just said with puzzlement. Enough time has passed since you were served that his order of mint chocolate ice cream begins to melt just slightly. "Are they things I should be worried about?"
A burst of courage suddenly hits you. Without worrying any more about it, you grab his free hand and pull him away from the crowded area so that you can gain some privacy with the conversation.. "Yeonjun? I'm going to be honest with you."
"Okay..." He’s visibly confused as he raises his ice cream to his lips and licks up some of the dripping cream.
"But first," You say, taking a breath. It’s now or never.
“I need you to kiss me.”
Even as you say the words, you’re surprised that you actually say them aloud. The look of shock on his face is replicated with your own because neither of you were expecting to hear it.
“W-what?”
“Please,” you rush. “Just kiss me.”
“Y/N… not that I don’t want to,” You think he looks mildly horrified by your statement as he sits on the curb. “But why?”
“Because I-” You cut yourself off and go to sit down beside him, trying to figure out how to say what you want to say and panicking a little when no words come out. “- because-”
The sound of stuttering brings back the concerned look on his face. Your mild freak out has obviously made him uneasy.
“Hey,” He leans forward and grabs ahold of your hand in his. “Whatever it is, you don’t have to tell me now, okay? I’m just not sure I want our first kiss to be something that you need. I want you to want it.”
Yeonjun’s words stop your blazing path of courage in its spot. Do you want to kiss him?
You’ll give it to him; Yeonjun is hot. His blonde hair falls over beautifully brown eyes and frames his face when it stops right at his cheekbones. You think he looks like he could be in a movie when he slicks his hair back for work.
His lips are kissable. They’re full and plump and so pink as he stands and stares at you in expectation. No matter how much you can see the possibility of kissing him in your head, though, you’re left wondering- do you want that possibility to become a reality?
It could possibly remove you of the leftover feelings you have for Hoseok. You know that people get into relationships to get over old ones everyday; are you the type of person who needs a new guy to move on?
On the other end of the spectrum, kissing him could prove to you that you haven’t truly moved on from Hoseok.
Desperately, you want to find out, so- yes- you want to kiss him.
“Yeonjun,”
You whisper his name and place your hand over his. His fingers dig into your skin lightly and you scoot closer to him to remove the extra space. When he looks down at you headily, you press your chest to his. “I want you to kiss me.”
His free hand is slow to move. It skates up your side and gently cups your jaw to accompany his face as he leans in.
“Are you sure?”
His question is whispered mere inches away from your lips. Within the few moments he used to lean in, you started holding your breath. You don’t know why, though. Are you excited? Or nervous?
Rather than think about it any longer, you bring back your potent burst of intrepidity.
You barely get the ‘I’m sure’ out before you’re wrapping your arms around his neck and closing the remaining distance.
Yeonjun's lips are soft as they smash up against yours and you have to sigh at the sensation. He’s warm, embrace tight and secure, as he pulls you against him, and his breath tastes like mint chocolate. Although you don’t particularly favor his flavor of ice cream, it tastes wonderful when he slips his tongue onto the edge of your bottom lip to lave against it.
Yeonjun lets his hand on your face drop to your bent knee and squeezes it gently while he moves his lips against yours. Your heart rate picks up and your spine tingles with excitement because it's everything you’ve ever wanted in a first kiss with someone.
But that's just what it is- a kiss with someone.
Your body reacts naturally to having intimate, physical contact with a human being, but you realize that butterflies don't fill your stomach. Your thighs clench together with lust, but there is no passion. The possibilities of a future with this man are hardly there as he lowly grunts.
In this moment of time, where you share your breaths with someone who isn’t Jung Hoseok, you can’t help but feel like it is the most unnatural thing in the universe.
No one can make you feel the same and, because you kissed Yeonjun, you know for sure now- you're still not over Hoseok.
In your study of the kiss, you fail to reciprocate his lips' movements and go still. He must notice that your fervor is gone because his rhythm against you drastically slows.
Deliberately but surely, Yeonjun pulls away with a satisfied exhale on his lips and his eyes fluttering open. You can tell from the way he looks at you dreamily that he felt a lot more in the kiss than you did.
As you part your lips to take a breath, you feel how well-kissed they are. They tingle, and remnants of mint chocolate still sit on your lips when you lick them. Damn, he's a pretty good kisser. It’s shallow to think it, but you figure it’s your mind’s way of trying to soothe yourself.
"So," he whispers. You look at him with your hands still around his neck, unsure of how to handle the revelation. "I'm not the one, huh?"
The question burns your chest and makes you feel so guilty that you let your lips part to take an exhale of shocked shame. It’s so heavy and cumbersome that your heart breaks for him that very moment.
You lean your forehead against his and close your eyes while you try to sort out your thoughts.
“Yeonjun…” You hesitate again. It’s becoming more difficult to speak. “I…”
He pulls away to put his hand back on your cheek and thumb over your cheekbone.
“Is there someone else?”
You wince sheepishly. "Not exactly. It's... It's complicated."
Yeonjun chuckles at your words and slowly relaxes his hold on you. "I see. So it's like that."
"It is." You stiffly nod to confirm his thoughts.
The man who sits in front of you has a disheartened smile on his lips. The look tears you apart because the last thing you wanted to do was hurt him. As much as you feel bad for him, though, you know that you can’t delay the inevitable.
"Thank you."
Yeonjun expresses his gratefulness lowly and removes his arm from around you so that he can lean away and pick up his abandoned ice cream. Guilt and confusion still prevent you from doing the same.
"For what?" you ask.
Thoughtfully, he chews on his ice cream and then looks at you with a click of his tongue.
"For being honest with me." His smile turns crooked as he regards you. "It saved me from a lot of hurt."
His statement wasn't meant to make you feel guilty you don't think- Yeonjun doesn't seem like the petty type- yet you feel the ugliness of the sensation pressing on your chest like a truck. It makes the task of breathing just that much harder.
"Yeonjun, I'm-"
"Don't apologize." He cuts you off and places a hand on your shoulder.
"But, Yeonjun-"
"No ‘buts’, Y/N. I’m already so lucky that you even gave me a chance."
Suddenly, you look at him, feeling even more horrible because the compliment manages to actually flatter you. He’s too kind for his own good.
“Oh, come on, Jun. It’s not all that.”
Yeonjun smiles and looks at the ground with a blush on his cheeks.
“It is, though,” he says. “All of us at the office know how amazing you are. Soobin, Chanyeol, Mr. Jung-” You choke and splutter in shock from the unexpected name. With a quirked and worried eyebrow, he trails off. “-Mark… Y/N, are you okay?”
“I’m fine.” You clear your throat and pump your fist to your chest a few times to try assisting your struggle. “Just choked on my spit a little.”
“O… kay…” He shakes his head and continues. “As I was saying, all the guys think you’re an amazing woman. They talk about you all the time.”
“Even Hoseok?”
Oh fuck. You were not supposed to fucking say that.
In a panic, your eyes widen as he narrows his at you.
"Is he the one who's making it complicated?"
You’re rushing to mend your slip up before you can even think about it.
“No! No. Uh…” You swallow thickly. “I was just wondering because- uh…” Shit. Think of something. “… because he’s our Chief Supervisor! It’s a little weird. Heh.” Nervously, you laugh, applauding yourself for coming up with something so quick. Once you finish laughing, you search his eyes to see if he’s bought your excuse.
Yeonjun’s face is unmoving for a moment, his eyes still picking you apart like you are an unsolved mystery, and it makes your heart leap away with anxiety.
Then, his face relaxes and he chuckles. “Well, yeah. Even Mr. Jung talks about you.”
You can’t press any further into the topic of your ex because it would allow Yeonjun to see right through your lie.
“That’s so weird,” you say instead. You need to make the conversation general again. “All of you talk about me?”
“Yep.” He struggles to answer you past his new mouthful of ice cream. “Ever since they saw me flirting with you at that team dinner.”
“Oh, good god.” You accidentally snort as you cover your face with your hand. “It’s been that long?”
Again, he takes a mouthful. “Mhm. ‘ou should sh-ee how much Chan-eol and Mish’ter Jung tal’ abou- ‘ou.” He swallows the melted dessert. “They’re like teenagers in high school.”
“What do they say?”
You ask the question with curiosity and hope bubbling up in your chest like fragile butterflies that have been blown away countless times before. They shudder under the weight of the pressure that the memories cause. It’s hard to forget what has happened to them over the years.
“Well, they talk about your work ethic a lot. And how you look extra beautiful when you’re working hard.”
The comment shocks you. You were prepared to hear something about your physical appearance, so when you hear Yeonjun point out something that’s not exactly physical- as you expected from a group of men- you become pleasantly surprised.
“Really?”
“You get this look on your face when you focus,” he says thoughtfully. “Your eyebrows kinda come together and everything. It’s really pretty.”
You become flushed and duck your head to begin eating your own dessert as something to occupy your facial features.
As flustered as you are by Yeonjun’s compliments, you find it’s hard to think about them when you've just been told that Jung Hoseok talks about you like he's not your ex-fiancé.
"Thanks, Jun…"
There’s an uneasy feeling that comes with the knowledge. It’s hard to think with people around you. After a beat, you speak your need.
"Actually… Can you take me home?”
He winces. "Did I make you uncomfortable?"
"You didn't..." you say, stressing the first word so that he knows you are actually uncomfortable. "But I think I'd like to be alone for the rest of the night. It's getting late anyway."
"I understand."
Yeonjun gets up and gives a few brushes to his backside to remove his shorts of any dirt that might be clinging there.
Your ice cream, forgotten, sits on the pavement as you walk back towards the car. Your mind is too muddled to remember it.
Yeonjun frowns, picks it up, and tosses it into the nearby trash can.
Tumblr media
Now that you know to look, you can feel his eyes on you as you pour yourself another cup of coffee in the break room.
It’s your third one today. Wait, is it the fourth? Or fifth? You’d like to think that the reasoning behind you losing count is because of how focused you are on your work, but you know that the coffee has been unnecessary since the second cup. There’s no way around the fact that you’ve lost count because you keep getting cups so that you can see him put his eyes on you.
Since Yeonjun told you of your obvious influence on the men of the office, you’ve been especially watchful of whose eyes linger on you. It’s quite difficult, at first, until you realize that they all manage to avert their gazes just fast enough when you let yourself search.
But his eyes- Hoseok’s- they linger just the slightest bit too long. It’s long enough for you to see that he is looking at you with with a blank expression on his face. You expected curiosity or distaste- hate, even- but his face is almost devoid of any emotion. It’s certainly beginning to throw you off.
It throws you off so much that you pour the coffee until it spills over the sides of your mug.
“Shit,” you mutter and back away from the edge of the counter as it threatens to spill over onto the floor.
“Whoa there,” a familiar voice says from behind you. You turn to look at who you know to be Yeonjun lurking behind you. “What happened here?”
You sigh in frustration and turn to face him after putting the cup down. “Just kind of lost myself for a second and stopped paying attention.”
He smiles softly and reaches past you to grab some of the napkins from the dispenser. “Here, let me help.”
The two of you begin sopping up the spilled coffee and you keep your eyes down while the heat of embarrassment rises on your cheeks. Yeonjun tries to reassure you that what’s happened is nothing, ‘relax, babe,’ yet you can’t help but feel mortified that you made such a slip in front of your Chief Supervisor- in front of your ex-fiancé.
Once the coffee is cleaned, you both turn to toss the napkins in your hands into the trash can.
Thunk!
Yeonjun’s shoulder bumps into your forehead as he turns towards you at the same time that you turn towards him. You immediately shoot your hand up to soothe the dull ache that the force has incited and the man is quick to do the same to comfort you.
“Oh fuck,” He grabs onto your shoulder and leans down to look into your downturned face. “I’m so sorry.”
“You’re good.” You wince, rubbing your forehead affectionately. It only takes a brief moment for you to remember that someone else has seen the entire interaction and you quickly jerk your head in the direction of where you know him to be standing.
Brown eyes no longer train your figure. In fact, he has completely left the break room.
His absence leaves a terribly noticeable emptiness in your chest.
Tumblr media
Glasses clink together and beers slightly spill over the edges from the contact. A chorus of cheers accompany the movement.
“Congrats, team! Another fiscal for the books!”
Hoseok smiles brightly as he regards his team, loving every moment of the camaraderie. He lets his eyes sweep over every member who bring their glasses to their lips and watches as each one takes sips and gulps of the golden beverage.
“Chug! Chug! Chug!”
The man’s attention is drawn to his accounting manager, Yeonjun, as he continues to gulp when everyone else has ceased. As soon as he sees Yeonjun, though, he also sees you egging him on with the most excited of smiles on your face.
Hoseok can’t help but try to distract himself with the bitter taste of the beer.
He hates the idea of the two of you, but rumors about how you began spending time with the younger man started circulating the office ages ago. It's an unavoidable truth now.
He sees the way Yeonjun makes you happy; he noticed the way you became no longer interested in anything to do with himself mere weeks after you first started; Hoseok grew to accept that you no longer loved him long before he, himself, had begun to lose those feelings.
Just one more hug.
You gave the best hugs in his opinion.
Even as you lean into Yeonjun while he wipes his mouth with the back of his hand, Hoseok can’t think of anything but being able to wrap his arms around you and pull you to him one more time. You had this habit of giggling whenever he picked a random moment to encase you in his embrace and he used to revel in the feeling of your body vibrating with happiness against his own.
Now, he begs for the sensation.
If he were brave, he’d throw all caution to the wind and march right over to you so that he could feel your hug again. He would press his nose into your neck and crush you to him like he wants whilst everyone else watches their boss crumble below your fingertips.
But he’s not brave. He’s a fucking coward. Hoseok proved the statement to himself when he cancelled his engagement and broke up with you.
He was too much of a coward to handle your lifestyle. He wasn’t brave enough to continue loving you even after the fact because he wasn’t able to charge through the obstacles that came with loving someone in the military. Worst of all, he was too much of a chicken to approach you on the night of the New Years’ party. He was so ashamed that he couldn’t even look at you.
So he dyed his hair flame orange.
Don’t get him wrong- he definitely likes the style- but he wouldn’t do something crazy like that on a normal day and he could definitely think of a few other aesthetic things he could do to his body to make you look at him.
Maybe an eyebrow piercing. Maybe a lip piercing. Hoseok doubled back on those thoughts when he thought about their more permanent- and painful- consequences.
So he ended up dying his hair. He did it so that you’d have to instinctually look at the strong color; so that you’d have to look at him first.
He also got himself a girlfriend. Maybe it would spur the jealousy in you so that he could know for sure if you still cared or not.
To say that his plan worked was the truth- you undoubtedly eyed his hair when he stepped in front of you after Laci approached you- but you didn’t look at him in the way that he wanted you to. In fact, you almost seemed to dote on his relationship like a proud mother. The notion made him frustrated.
Because you were happy for him; he didn’t want you to be happy for him. He’s usually so good at keeping his emotions concealed from those around him, but when he had Laci on his side and your happy eyes driving him further into the ground, he couldn’t help but feel the guilt of a thousand criminals weighing on his psyche.
That’s what he is, anyway. A criminal. He had no right to do what he did to you.
Hoseok is very aware of the pain he caused you on the night that he left you and he is also conscious of the fact that you felt that pain for a very long time from the way Namjoon had explained it. He’d heard through the grape vine that you stopped talking to the guys as often as you used to and that you had been in a handful of reckless situations after the breakup. For crying out loud, you’d apparently gotten fucking shot.
It seems that that stage of your life has long been over, though.
You sit so content now, next to Yeonjun, and you have a beautiful smile on your lips that displays just how much you’ve grown since being his fiancé.
He hates the idea of you with someone else now but he loves the idea of you being content. When you left the New Years’ party, he knew that any future he had with you was over and done with. It didn’t matter that you were retiring- any hope he might have had to maybe be yours again was long gone.
Like he did at many of the team dinners before, Hoseok gets up with jealousy pushing his anger to the visible surface. His chair scrapes loudly against the floor despite the loud commotion of the occupants in the restaurant and he can feel the eyes of his employees on him as he begins stalking angrily away.
The bathroom at this place has become his sanctuary by this point. He finds that he makes an escape to it every time they come here after work. His own little solitude, away from the chaos that you bring into his mind at these dinners, serves as the perfect oasis to calm him down.
Hoseok follows the corridor down to where the single bathroom sits nudged into the center, under a lone ceiling light, and he goes to grab the brass knob but finds it locked.
Sighing heavily, he leans against the wall and tips his head back with his eyes closed in wait. Many things cross his mind now that he's separated himself from the loudness of the team dinner.
Unsure of how much time has gone by, he blames the lengthy silence for how much he jumps when the door finally opens and RaKeisha steps out.
“Mr. Jung?“
He smiles quickly to cover up the unsound state of his mind.
"You took your time,” he jokes.
The woman steps out from the bathroom slowly, unsurely, and he can tell from the way she slightly missteps that the alcohol has begun to affect her equilibrium.
"I'm sorry, sir. I was just trying to freshen up a little."
"Don't fret, Kei. I was just messing around. And how many times must I tell you to call me Hoseok at these functions?"
She giggles lightly and begins to walk forward. "At least once more, Mr. Jung."
Suddenly, she stumbles, and he instinctively rushes to catch her.
Hoseok grunts with effort as she spills into his arms heavily. Her hands fly desperately to assist in catching herself and she makes a small sound- a squeak- as she was preparing to meet her end.
He's able to steady her after a few struggle-filled moments and he's thankful that he acted quick enough to keep her from tumbling onto the floor.
“Are you okay?” He asks, looking down at her worriedly.
She chuckles sheepishly with embarrassment.
“I am.”
And then she looks up at him with those eyes.
Somehow, they look like yours.
Rakeisha’s skin complexion is much different from yours. Her eyebrows are shaped differently and her hair isn't the same. Overall, she looks nothing like you.
But the way she looks at him is the way you once did.
Rakeisha's eyes are wide and undeniably beautiful as she looks up at him and he can't help but only see you as her face gets close to his. Your nose, your lips, your eyelashes; you stare up at him as he stares down at you.
“Hoseok,” you whisper in the voice that isn't yours. His heart gallops away in his chest as he scrambles to clear his mind of the illusion. His arms tighten around the body that isn't yours, yet his mind remembers exactly what it was like to hold you so intimately.
And then you lean in. And so does he.
Hoseok kisses the lips that aren't yours as if they are, clutching tightly onto you so that he can pour out everything he feels for you to let you know he wanted to come back to you. He really did. And now, it’s too late.
But then, you gasp. The real you gasps.
He thinks he imagines it as he feels his adrenaline pump in his veins and his heart hammer away in his chest. Maybe you feel it when he tightens his arms around you and pulls you so that your chest presses against his own. He wants you to feel everything.
But then, the illusion is gone and it is RaKeisha who still stands fused to his body. You are not the one he holds like his life depends on it. He’s not holding the one who truly makes him happy.
Hoseok turns to look at your wide, shocked eyes with RaKeisha still chasing after his lips in his arms.
Tumblr media
Looking back, continuing to hang out with Yeonjun whilst knowing that he wanted to be with you may not have been your wisest decision.
The both of you agreed that you did not want anything like that- it's purely friendship at this point- but you can't help the shame that comes with yet another failed attempt at moving on. It's now been almost four years since the separation and you've failed every time you tried again.
But when you see Hoseok storm off to the bathroom yet again, you can't help the small itch at the back of your mind that tells you that it could be because of you.
You want your presence to irritate him. You want him to be bothered by the fact that you're being friendly with another guy. The idea of making Hoseok jealous is much too enticing to resist.
Is this yet another red flag?
Meh.
The likelihood that his jealousy stems from being without you is extremely minuscule- if not nonexistent. It's a lot more likely that he's jealous of you.
He's also failed at getting into another relationship since Laci and it might have torn him up a lot more than he lets on. And, although the two of them are no longer together, you tend to catch yourself comparing yourself to her on occasion.
The dinner continues without your Chief Supervisor and people begin to get antsy because of his absence. A few of the younger employees get a little out of hand and the older ones wonder where he is so that he can instill some professionalism back into the group.
You volunteer to go check on him without thinking twice about it. Must be the beer.
You leave the large room, following Hoseok’s path, and look down at the floor unconsciously so that you can walk straighter. Part of you wonders if he’s actually using the bathroom or if he’s just sitting in there shutting himself away like he does when he’s overcome with emotion.
When you look up, the hallway to the bathroom is dark yet the door to it is lit by the ceiling light right above it like a spotlight. It allows you to see the silhouettes of two people entangled with each other. Immediately, you recognize the shape of Hoseok’s hair draped over whoever he is bound to. It falls just long enough to touch her forehead.
He grunts softly and his arms tighten around whoever he’s with as you get closer, yet your steps are losing the speed they were at before because you realize that your heart is quickly crumbling to the floor.
When you get close enough, you pick out the locks on RaKeisha’s head dangling down. Hoseok holds her to him so tightly that her back is forced to bow her body into him.
You couldn’t stop the gasp from leaving your lips if you tried. The sight punches a hole in your chest and the air from your lungs.
They don’t move at the sound of your breath, yet they detach from each other quickly after another beat of heated kissing and tightening arms. As if they convey ‘I don’t want to let you go.’ Your emotions are a maelstrom in your head and the chaos makes it seem like things move in slow motion.
Hoseok brings his hand up to thumb at the corner of his lips. RaKeisha adjusts her shirt back over her stomach because it had somehow ridden up over her waist while they were kissing.
“Y/N-” she starts, swallowing thickly. “I- uh-”
Even though you know you shouldn’t be, you feel extremely petty and unnaturally jealous of her as you wait for her to spout some nonsense to you. She’s your friend, yet the audacity she had to kiss your ex-fiancé- even though she didn’t know about your history with him at all- temporarily wipes you of common sense.
“Y/N,” Hoseok speaks instead, out of breath and donning an extremely guilty look on his face. It’s too dark to tell, but you’re almost one hundred percent sure that he’d look pale if you could see him properly.
“It’s not what it looks like.”
You have to resist the urge to roll your eyes. The pettiness has left a bitter taste on your tongue and a block of ice in place of your heart. It prevents you from putting any effort towards trying to understand the situation because- oh, for fuck’s sake- it’s obvious that it is exactly what it looks like.
“I didn’t ask,” you say. Okay, maybe you drank a bit more than you thought. You’re not usually this short with people.
Hoseok hesitates for a moment while RaKeisha ducks her head and books it. The retreat leaves you alone with him.
“Okay.” His voice is lowered by the uncertainty in it.
You respond almost automatically. “Okay.”
He stands there, head lowered, and purses his lips while you stare at him observantly. He can’t seem to meet your eyes because of how you’re looking at him. Good, you muse. You hope he feels small.
“Well,” You suck in a breath, bring your lips between your teeth, and begin to turn away. “I’m going back to the dinner.”
“Y/N-” He stumbles forward as he reaches out. “Wait.”
“Why the fuck would I wait for you?” It’s too easy for the question to come spilling out and it comes out too fast for you to at least control the way you ask it. You turn to look at him with your anger finally exposed on your face and he recoils and pulls his hand back to his side as if the question has burned him. Red hot rage boils in your blood and controls your words. “You couldn’t wait for me.”
He opens his mouth and then closes it because you know that he has absolutely nothing to say. You are right and he knows it.
Instead of speaking to further the conversation any more, you begin walking away.
His fingers wrap around your arm in a crushing grip and yank you back in such a direction that your back thumps against the wall. A dull ache resounds from where your shoulder blades came into contact with it. The action alone makes you want to fight him because of how he thinks he just has the right to touch you.
“What the fuck, Hoseok!” You hiss and raise your arm to rip it from his grasp.
“Just-” He raises his hands up in surrender, obviously apologetic, and looks away from you. “Just stop-” He grits his teeth, balls his hands into fists, and drops them to his sides. “- stop leaving me.”
“What the hell do you mean?” You bite. It feels good to cuss so much at him. “What else am I supposed to do?”
Angrily, you poke your finger into his chest to accentuate your words. “You left me, asshole.”
He sighs harshly and leans into you with his hand on the wall despite the aggression in your actions. Unconsciously, your hands come up and fold in front of your chest at the new closeness.
“That wasn’t- it wasn’t-” He bares his teeth in frustration and then licks his lips, struggling. “It didn’t end how I wanted it to.”
You scoff in disbelief. “Look, Hoseok. What we had is over with. It has been for years.” It hurts you to say it. “But what still hurts is the fact that you wanted it to end.”
He slams his hand against the wall twice, shaking his head vehemently. “No, no! Not like that! I didn’t wa-”
But you don’t want to hear what he has to say. You’re done with his excuses. “I’m not who I used to be, so don’t give me that.”
He goes quiet again, letting you speak.
“But thank you for everything. Genuinely, thank you. You were the best and worst thing that ever happened to me and I’m grateful that you did what you did because it allowed me to grow.”
He’s incredibly silent as you conclude your interaction. “I’m done with this conversation.”
And you walk away, leaving him in the dark hallway.

ੈ✩‧₊˚ note ; HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO HOBI!! MY BIRTHDAY TWIN! AHHH I CAN’T WAIT TILL HE COMES BACK HOME!! (also this is a little late)
Tumblr media
“Wake up, Hobi! Wake up!” A cheerful shout stirs him out of his sleep. Hoseok’s dreamland drifts away as he wakes up to reality. He blinks back the burden of sleep before opening his eyes to see the sun. 
You’re sitting at his side, leaning slightly over him. Your hair hangs over your smile, but Hobi can recognize the sweet sight even if he was blind in a black room.
“Happy birthday, Hobi!” Enthusiasm leaks from your lips and Hoseok can’t help but to bare his own grin in return. He reaches his hand up to expose your excitement, brushing your hair out of the way and cradling your cheek. He makes a move to hold you closer, but you brush him off and hop off the bed. “Didn’t you hear me?” You tilt your head the tiniest bit, amused by his dazed appearance. “I said it’s your birthday. Aren’t you excited?” 
Hoseok takes hold of the alarm clock on his nightstand and turns it to face him. The blinding blue numbers stare back at him: 12:01am. 
You chase the cold wind as you walk out of the room. Hoseok is quick to follow after snatching a blanket off the bed and winding it around you. The constricting cover wraps around you like a noose, but you hide the hurtful truth from him; keeping a smile on his face is your main motive at the moment. 
You take the steps in twos, an impatient air in your movements. You turn back to the boy that lags behind, taking his hand and tugging him towards you. Hoseok obeys so easily and lets you poke and prod at him until he sits still at the kitchen table with your hands held over his eyes. 
Hobi lifts his hand up, pulling apart your fingers to take a peek at whatever surprise stays hidden. You’re quick to grab his hands and place them properly in front of his face.
“Don’t peek,” you say sternly in his ear. “You’ll ruin the surprise before it’s ready.” Truthfully, Hobi isn’t too impatient to see the surprise, he only hoped you would hold his hand if he decided to trigger a little trouble. 
Hobi then submits to your scolding and continues playing the puppet in your play. It’s obvious you’ve got something important planned, with your tense touches and the haste words you hum. His head feels feverish from the burning blush that takes hold of him. He’s dizzy with delusions of what sweet surprise his sunshine has hidden behind her back. 
“Your eyes are still closed right?” Your voice is distant, crawling out of the corners of the kitchen. Hoseok hums in agreement and he hears your footsteps coming closer. You stop in front of him and he can picture exactly how you look in his head. A playful smile prying at your lips, the surprise held in your hands, and eyes that shine down on him like the sun. He starts to squirm in his seat at the sensation of you so near. A chill crawls up his spine. Your breath trails down his face, coming to stop at the shell of his ear.
“Sit still.” A stilted silence tumbles off his tongue. His muscles begin to melt at your words, leaving him a pathetic puddle in your palms. A selfish sound tells him to reach out and touch you; to take your hips and harvest the heat that falls off your body. Yet he keeps himself composed and lets you take the lead. He’s prayed too much for his passion to be shared by his soulmate and he won’t let his greed give it all away. 
You lay your lips upon his, giving him a taste of a kiss that could kill. It’s only a soft peck on his skin, yet Hoseok feels a fire that sets his body ablaze. A cold coat of icing also arrives on his lips. You’ve given him a tempting taste of a cake crafted just by you. When he licks his lips to swallow the sugar, he comes to the conclusion that it’s the second sweetest thing he’s ever tasted (Only narrowly falling behind the taste of your chaste kiss). He chases your lips, longing to take and take, until there’s nothing else left for his selfish soul.
“Ah, ah, ah,” You smirk down on him with a teasing tone. “Have a bite of the cake then I’ll give you anything you want.” You balance the cake in both arms and hold it out in front of him. “I worked hard to make it so the least you can do is try it.” 
A burning set of candles are placed on top and you stare at him with anxious eyes.
“So?” You look at him expectantly, “Make a wish already!” Your rushing words bring a little laugh out of him. 
“Why so excited? It’s not even your birthday.” He bites back his smile as he prepares to blow out the candles. Hoseok holds no hesitation when it comes to his birthday wish. A red rose-bud of hope burrows deep in his heart. A hope that you’re beginning to find a place in his home, and a place in his life. All the time spent tortured by your disdain was only a test of his love. Thoughts of a loving life with you tangle themselves into his last wish. 
With a soft smile that never left his lips, he blows out the flames. This loss of light brings an overwhelming darkness to the room. He scoots closer to you in his chair, keeping you company under the overhead light. You shuffle back a bit, instead grabbing the kitchen knife to cut the cake.
“What did you wish for?” You don’t look at him, only focusing on the action at hand. Hobi gazes upon you and falters before he answers. 
“...I wish everyday was as good as this one.” 
You give him a grin, then turn off to the side; hiding the smile that rots off your red lips and falls into a frown. Hiding the hands that shake when you watch him indulge in his innocence. 
He takes his first bite of the pretty pastry and never stops smiling as he does.
Hobi wishes he could savour this moment, to have it imprinted into his head. He wants to take snapshots of your smile and keep them close to his heart: he begs to have you bake for him every day in the future: but most importantly, he craves for your closeness. His hand comes forward clumsily, reaching for your arm, yet it only seems to fall flat. A new sense of confusion consumes him. He reaches out once again, holding out his hand for you to take, but a burden only brings him down. Almost in slow-motion, Hobi stumbles out of his seat and slumps onto the floor. He falls at your knees and forces himself to look up at you. His strength begins to slip as a pale poison pulls at his heartstrings. 
You peer down at the pathetic man fallen at your feet. The shadows suffocate the light, leaving a dusky darkness to sink into your skin. A sad smile takes shape as you see his eyelids slowly shut. You lean down and give him one last lingering kiss.
“Shh, go to sleep now.”  You whisper while he struggles to stay awake. His willpower begins to willow away as the darkness seeps back behind his eyes. As the lights go out, so does his love.

Repercussions
A Hoseok x Namjoon x Reader Fanfiction
Summer madness 7/32 Y/N is fed up of not being the center of attention because Namjoon and Hoseok are busy. But can she handle it when bratting gets her EXACTLY what she asked for? Degradation, name-calling, fem oral, Dom/sub
"I'm kinda busy here sweetheart." Namjoon dismisses you.
The rapper is bent over his mixing boards, hard at work on what is sure to be the next big thing on the Korean music scene. Too bad you didn't really care all that much, the South Korean public had monopolised more than enough of his time, especially with enlistment coming up. It left you feeling particularly sour about the lack of attention you had been receiving of late, both from Namjoon and Hoseok.
You drape yourself over Namjoon's shoulders and sigh dramatically. He rolls his eyes but continues with his work, largely ignoring you in favour of his new album.
You walk your fingers along his arm, tracing the veins that stick out along his biceps.
"Love we can play later." He says shrugging you off.
"But I want to play now." You whine in the most petulant voice you can muster.
He looks up at you finally, but it's not the look of defeat you'd been hoping for. His tongue is buried in his cheek, one eyebrow raised. It's a look that tells you he is not in the mood for you to be bratty right now...
It's a look that might've worked on you ordinarily, sent you whimpering off with your tail between your legs to wait for him on his terms. Except he has told you later twice this week and fallen asleep before later ever arrived. This time you weren't willing to back down.
"That look has never been followed by anything good." You tease.
You make yourself comfortable on his sofa as he watches. You make a point of laying against the arm and arching your back in a way you know accentuates your curves, a pose he wouldn't normally refuse. You close your eyes and run your hands down your body, groaning as you ghost over your breasts. They continue down past your belly button, hovering at the tops of your thighs.
You open one eye to glance at him, to make sure your audience is truly captive. His knuckles are turning white from holding on to his knees too tightly.
"Y/N..." It's a warning, his voice low and gravelly.
"What? If you don't want to play I might as well make myself comfortable."
Your hands continue. You let your skirt fall upwards exposing your thighs properly. You dig your nails into the unmarred flesh leaving red marks in your wake.
"Y/N stop." He commands, but you've gone too far to listen.
You play with the seem of your panties. Your finger dips across the growing wet patch in the middle of the fabric, the coolness of your hand making you shiver. A hand reaches out and covers yours and you think you've won.
You open both your eyes to look at Namjoon but your triumph is quickly replaced with dread when you meet his eyes.
"Y/N I love you so much, but right now you are testing the limits of that love."
Your stomach drops and immediately you sit upright. He brings his hand up to your face and caresses your cheek as you whimper under his touch.
"I said later, sweetheart."
You nod this time and he releases your face. He turns back to his work and it is clear that is all that will be said on the matter for now.
You decide to go in search of Hobi. His mood hadn't been particularly cheery this morning, but perhaps he might be easier to sway than Namjoon.
You find the man in your 'everything room'. A spare bedroom that you had converted for use as a dance studio, gym, movie theatre, and other recreational activities. Your favourite feature happened to be the closet that turned around to reveal Hobi's favourite toys. It fills you with hope when you see him standing near the door only to find it facing the other way and filled with boring things like ankle weights and sweat towels.
You loiter in the doorway watching him wipe away the sweat that accumulated along his collar bones. He doesn't seem to notice your presence, or at least he ignores you if he does. He tosses the used towel across the room towards the hamper and presses play on his phone.
A song from his latest album blares across the speakers and like clockwork his body springs into the routine he has been practising for days. He moves harshly in time to the beat, meeting each step with perfect timing any mistakes he makes are completely imperceptible to the untrained eye. But he sees them. And you can see each one on his face as he becomes more annoyed with himself.
As the song comes to an end he grumbles to himself and finally turns to look at you.
"What's wrong Jagiya?" He asks.
"Missed you." You pout.
You jut your bottom lip out hoping to goad him into kissing you. It fails.
"I need to get this perfect before the weekend Y/N... How about we spend the evening together?" He suggests.
"But I'm lonely now..." You groan.
"Don't use that tone of voice with me." He rolls his eyes "You know that only works on Joonie."
"Not today apparently." You grumble under your breath.
He catches it anyway.
"OH! So I'm not even your first choice today? Silly Brat couldn't take no for an answer?" His voice turns cold.
You stammer for a response but he raises his hand to stop you.
"I want you to go to our room and stay there until I come and get you. Don't ask for things you've already been told you can't have Y/N you know better than that." He chastises.
You want to protest, not ready to give up on your endeavour. You're certain if you could just try for a little longer he will give you exactly what you want.
"But Hobi..." You pout, fake tears threatening your waterline.
"Don't. I've given you your orders, I'll deal with you later. Now go." He waves you away and starts his music again.
You huff loudly as you leave ensuring he hears your displeasure.
You glance at Namjoon's closed studio door one more time but decide better of it. And so you sulk for the rest of the afternoon, lounging on your shared bed and flipping through different shows on Netflix.
______________
Almost five hours later the door opens to reveal an irate-looking Hoseok. He flicks on the lights and unplugs the TV.
"You're so annoying. Did you know that?" He pauses like he expects a response.
But you know better than to give one.
"You think you'd be grateful, you know? So many others would kill for the life we've given you, yet you take it for granted..."
You whimper as he stalks closer to the bed, scrambling against the headboard.
"But maybe you're right. Maybe we haven't been indulging you enough. Maybe the unlimited credit cards and a beautiful apartment aren't enough for you? Maybe we've been selfish working so hard to provide for you, hmm?"
He crawls across the bed towards you leaving you nowhere to escape to as he cages you in. He reaches out and hooks a finger under your thumb, forcing your gaze up to meet his.
"Clearly you've been neglected, so let me fix that... strip."
His hand drops down into his lap and he gives you just enough room to dispose of your clothing. You do so quickly, knowing better than to leave Hoseok waiting when he gets like this. You sit with your back against the headboard, legs spread wide with space for him in between. He appraises you, gaze lingering in all his favourite places. He looks hungry. But he doesn't touch, not yet.
"Show me how needy you are."
You place your hand between your legs, using two fingers to part your labia exposing your little pink hole. You can feel how wet you are with just a small motion, the skin sticky from waiting so long. The cool air causes goosebumps along your skin.
"Touch yourself." He growls.
You whine, realising he has no intention of touching you himself, at least not yet. You start reluctantly, teasing at your entrance with no real conviction hoping he might take over if you do it wrong.
Instead, he slaps your thigh, making the skin jiggle and leaving a bright red print in his wake.
"I know you're dumb Y/N but you're not that dumb. Show me how you pleasure yourself." He sneers.
This time you try harder, dragging your hand up towards your clit. You circle the sensitive bud, eyes closing as you focus on the pleasure.
Another slap lands on your leg, this time he digs his nails into the flesh leaving behind little halfmoon bruises. His free hand tucks back under your chin, forcing you to look at him. He doesn't need to speak his command this time, clear in his intention. Your eyes don't leave his as you play with yourself.
Your hand moves quicker and in more erratic rhythms as you get close. Cramps start in your wrist as the movements become more jolted the closer you get to the edge but you don't dare stop. Your head flops back against the headboard as you cum, eyes squeezing shut, unable to focus them any longer.
"Colour?" Hobi asks as your high fades away.
"Green." You affirm.
Hoseok grins at you and leans forward to kiss you quickly.
And then just like that, nice Hobi is gone again.
He attaches himself to your collarbones, marking across your skin with ugly red and purple bruises. His hands press your legs outwards, making them burn as he stretches them further apart than naturally possible. Slowly they inch down towards your centre so close to their target before you are interrupted by a cough at the doorway.
You look up to find Namjoon looking annoyed with his arms crossed, but Hoseok barely bothers to acknowledge his appearance, fingers finally finding their target as he pushes two inside of you with no warning.
"Hob-ah... I thought you were going to wait for me." Namjoon frowns.
"Got impatient." Hoseok shrugs, mouth refusing to detach from your collar.
You try to reach out for Namjoon but Hoseok curls his fingers at just the wrong moment, all thoughts of getting to your other lover abandoned instead for incoherent moans.
"I don't think you're doing a good enough job Hob-ah, the needy brat is still verbal." Namjoon scoffs.
Easily provoked, Hoseok immediately abandons his attempt to completely repaint your collar bones and drops into his stomach. His lips wrap expertly around your clit as his tongue dives into the centre of the nerves. You squeal and writhe as he attacks the sensitive bud.
Namjoon is quick to cross the room, pacing his lips on yours to swallow the noises that escape you. He bites hard on your bottom lip making it swell, a reminder of him that will likely last for days. His hand comes up around your throat holding you in place.
Hoseok pushes a third finger inside of you. The stretch proves too much and he works you through your second orgasm. His fingers maintain their pace and his tongue continues to wiggle against your clit preventing you from seeking any relief from the intense wave as it washes over you.
You try to moan out for Hoseok to stop, hands seeking his hair to tug at the strands but Namjoon stops you. His free hand bats yours away easily and his lips capture any noise that manages to escape past the hand constricting your throat.
"I thought this was what you wanted slut? Didn't you want our attention? Don't tell me after two orgasms you're ready to throw in the towel?" Namjoon whispers cruelly, biting at your earlobe.
Hoseok chuckles at Namjoon's taunts, the vibrations making your overstimulation worse. The man between your legs keeps going until your thighs are shaking, threatening to close in around his head, a third orgasm rattling through you. When he eventually does pull back, you're panting for air, Namjoon's hand finally fully releasing your throat.
Hoseok doesn't allow you much time to catch your breath, claiming your lips with his own, allowing you to taste yourself all over him, his chin dripping with you.
You're so wrapped up in what he is doing, you drift away from Namjoon, no longer aware of what he is doing. It's too late when you realise he is between your legs, dangerously pillowy lips torturously close to your clit. The bundle of nerves is still throbbing from Hobi's onslaught, not yet ready for more.
But Namjoon isn't always known for his patience.
He lays his tongue flat against your heat and licks a long slow line upwards, gathering your cum along his tongue. You try to scramble away as he flicks the tip over your clit, but are met by the headboard with nowhere to escape. Hoseok bites along your shoulder to distract you, settling in at your side so he can watch Namjoon go down on you. He reaches out and threads his finger in the other man's hair, guiding him along your sensitive pussy.
He is messier than Hoseok, much less precise in his movements. His tongue dips inside of you, pushing as far as he can manage before pulling back out and dragging upwards to circle your clit. It's just enough stimulation to keep you hanging, but never quite enough to push you over the precipice.
His hands dig into your thighs, pushing them away as they try to close around his head. Tears roll down your cheeks as he pulls back and bites at your legs in warning. You try to force them to stay open but the closer you get the more you tremble. Just when you think your legs are going to snap like a rubber band he lets you cum. Your thighs suffocate him as they rush to close around his head, shaking from the force of your fourth orgasm.
He doesn't seem to mind as he emerges beaming moments later. He reaches out to caress your face, wiping away the tear tracks.
"Are you okay love?" He asks.
You nod in response, not trusting your voice to have returned just yet. Namjoon wipes your cum from his face using his t-shirt and tosses the soiled garment towards the door to be dealt with later. He then pulls you forward into his lap, cuddling you closely.
Hoseok brushes a hand lovingly through your hair before disappearing from the room. He returns with wipes and snacks. He plugs the TV back in as he walks past and settles in on the bed next to Namjoon, playing with your hands.
"I'm sorry we've been busy lately, love," Namjoon whispers, kissing your head.
"Once I've finished this weekend's performance, all my schedules are finished, I'm all yours," Hoseok says.
They turn the TV back to the channel you had been watching when Hoseok had come in and set about cleaning you up as you lay limp in Namjoon's arms.
"You guys didn't cum..." You say as Hoseok pushes your legs apart to clean you up.
"I'm sure you'll make that up to us next time, I don't think you could handle anymore today," Hobi says.
As if to illustrate his point, he merely ghosts a wipe over your clit and it causes you to flinch.
"As long as next time is soon." You pout.
"Very soon," Namjoon promises " You have some very bratty behaviour to make up for..."

Tumblr media
All you wanted to do was go to sleep after your fight with Hoseok but Y/L/N Jaeyoung was making it extremely difficult to.
You watched him wearily as he bounced on the mini trampoline Mingyu bought for him and Jaehee, wincing every time you heard the spring squeak. He had been jumping on it for the past fifteen minutes, showing no hints of exhaustion as he squealed loudly and clapped his hands.
"Jaeyoung-ah, are you not tired?" You called out, on the verge of tears when he shook his head.
"No, I want to play, eomma!" Jaeyoung stopped jumping and scrambled off of the trampoline, sprinting to the other side of the room where Soonyoung, Seungkwan, and Jeonghan got a mini slide for the twins.
When the Seventeen members visited your new apartment, they were eager to learn that your apartment had extremely high ceilings and an empty room that was not put to use. They begged to turn it into a playroom and even insisted on paying for the entire cost (not that you would let them create a playroom if the money came out of your own pockets). After much convincing, you reluctantly agreed and now you were facing the consequences as you watched Jaeyoung climb up the stairs on all fours.
Most nights, the twins went to bed immediately after taking a bath and reading a bedtime story but tonight was not one of those nights. While Jaehee was sound asleep, Jaeyoung was running around like he drank a can of energy drink right before bedtime. You supposed that you should be grateful that only one twin was awake but your younger child was testing your patience. It seemed like all of the playing he did with Seungcheol and Eunae did nothing to wear him out.
"Alright, mister, that's enough." You caught him as he came out of the slide, swinging him into your arms.
"No, eomma, I want to play!" Jaeyoung squirmed around in your arms frantically, trying to get back onto the floor,
"Nope, we're taking another bath. You're all sweaty from running around in the playroom and then it's time to sleep." You simply replied.
He pouted and remained silent, his mood souring as you placed him back on the ground to fill up the bathtub. He sat on the ground and began kicking his legs, whining about how he wanted to play but you ignored him, filling the bath with bubbles instead. It was rare that Jaeyoung had a temper tantrum as he was typically well-mannered but in the moments he did, you let him take out his anger alone before talking to him about his feelings so he would listen to you when you tried to communicate with him. The first time you tried to hold him during a meltdown in an attempt to comfort him, he somehow managed to kick you in the jaw so you quickly learned that he preferred crying alone before listening to you. You were not a perfect parent by any means and were still learning how to raise the twins but you learned over the years that Jaeyoung listened to you best when he wasn't emotional.
"Are you ready to talk, Jae-Jae?" You asked after the tub finished filling with water.
Jaeyoung nodded his head tearfully, sniffling as he sat on the toilet seat. You squatted down in front of him so you could be at the same level as him, wiping his tears away.
"Why are you sad, baby?" You questioned.
"Because I want to play." He mumbled, his eyes brimming with tears again as he remembered how much fun he was having in the playroom before you snatched him up like a ragdoll.
"You already played a lot today. You played at daycare with your friends, you played with Eunae imo at the park, and you played with Seungcheol samchon after that. It's time for you to go to sleep or else you'll be too tired to play tomorrow." You explained. "You can play again after you sleep. Eomma let you stay up for a long time after I read you and Jaehee a story so now it's time to sleep."
"But I don't want to sleep." Jaeyoung pouted.
"Let's try to sleep at least one time, okay? You didn't even close your eyes when you were in bed, bubba."
The two of you agreed after you promised him that he could stay up longer if he really couldn't go to sleep and didn't feel tired in the slightest bit. He happily got in the bath and played with the bubbles for five minutes, before dozing off while you gently washed his hair and body. By the time you finished drying him off and dressed him back in his pajamas, he was half-asleep. You happily tucked him back into bed, feeling victorious.
"Finally, he fell asleep. I thought we would be pulling an all-nighter."
You collapsed onto the couch and lay sprawled out across it, staring at the ceiling in silence. Eunae, Seungcheol, and Joshua stared at you in amusement before snickering at your misfortune. You shot them a nasty look, irritated that they were disturbing your night but they invited themselves over after learning that Hoseok visited you a few hours prior. Eunae let herself in via the spare key you gave her and seemed to have allowed Joshua and Seungcheol in as well. You eyed the snacks and wine bottle that had been opened while you were wrangling Jaeyoung to bed; they were clearly having the time of their life while you were begging your three-year-old to sleep.
“You should’ve invited him to hang out with us.” Seungcheol grinned.
“And you should shut up.” You grouched, thanking Eunae for the glass of wine she poured for you. "As much as I love spending time with Jaeyoung, I need a break after that whole fiasco with Hoseok earlier today."
You weren't one to chug wine (or anything alcohol for that matter) nor was it the proper way to drink the expensive delicacy Mingyu gifted you a few weeks prior but you were in desperate need of a drink. Joshua winced as you drank the glass in one go, reaching out to grab it from you to refill it.
"Slow down, mama, we have all night." He scolded.
You smiled wryly at him before slumping further down against the couch, sighing deeply. "I hate Jung Hoseok. I wanted to kiss his pretty face when I saw him."
"You what?" Eunae screeched.
Seungcheol slapped his hand over her mouth. "Quiet, woman. There are children upstairs." He hissed.
She glared at him and reached up to yank his hand off of her mouth. She redirected her stare toward you, silently demanding you to explain. Quite frankly, you didn't know why she was surprised by your remark when you told her a few times you still loved Hoseok.
"He aged like fine wine." You simply shrugged. You then snickered to yourself at the realization that you were quite literally drinking said alcohol. "No pun intended."
Joshua shook his head. "You are pathetic sometimes, Y/L/N Y/N."
"Hey now, that's unnecessary." You swatted at his arm. "Just because I think he's still hot doesn't mean that I want to get back with him. I'm still mad at him; my conversation today only solidified it."
"What happened? How did he even know where you worked?" Seungcheol furrowed his eyebrows, realizing how strange it was that Hoseok quickly found you after you ran into the other BTS members at HYBE.
"Didn't Mingyu, Myungho, or Seokmin tell you? Hoseok has been looking for me ever since that day. He must've hired people or asked his management team to find information on me which is why he was able to find my cafe so easily."
Eunae scoffed in disgust. "What a creep. He has a lot of audacity to look up personal information about an ex-girlfriend."
"He also has a lot of audacity to say he would take me to court over Jaehee and Jaeyoung."
"What?"
So you dived into the story for your friends' sake, recalling every detail from the conversation. Just retelling the story had you heated and by the time you finished, you were red in the face, out of breath, and had a death grip on your wine glass which Joshua promptly snatched away.
"I am going to kill him, Y/N. Ooh, that man is not going to see the pearly gates of heaven once I get my hands on him." Eunae threatened.
"I'll hold him down, you punch him?" Seungcheol offered.
Joshua shook his head, disgusted and angered by the story. "I can't believe he threatened to take you to court when he was the one who accused you of cheating and broke up with you. Does he really think the judge is going to let him see the twins?"
You shrugged, "I guess so. I applaud him for being that confident. It takes a lot of stupidity to threaten court when he's the one who has been a deadbeat dad for the past three years."
Seungcheol grimaced, "Being called a deadbeat dad? That's tough. True but still tough."
"What did you tell him?" Eunae asked.
"That we can go to court if he wants to." You replied. "All of the inheritance money from my grandparents and parents can pay for ten years worth of lawyers if need be."
Eunae clapped her hands, nodding her head in approval. "You are so sexy for that. I could kiss you right now." She beamed.
"Excuse me?" Seungcheol gasped.
He was ignored as his girlfriend asked you more questions about what happened with Hoseok. You felt emotionally drained by the time she ran out of questions to pester you with, feeling like you relived the entirety of it for the second time.
"You should reach out to a film production company so they could turn your life into a movie," Joshua suggested. "You could be rich, Y/Nie. Even richer than your grandparents ever were."
You snorted at his remark, lazily swatting at him. "Don't be ridiculous." You then pondered on his suggestion. "How much money do you think I could make if I told them it was a true story and that Hoseok is the antagonist?"
The four of you laughed before silence fell. Nobody knew what else to say as they realized the true magnitude of the situation. If Hoseok was to follow through with his words, then there was no doubt that many issues were going to arise within the following weeks. Even if you could pay for countless lawyers, you didn't have the mental and emotional strength to fight in court for who knows how long. You also didn't want to put the twins in such an environment because they were so young.
"What are you going to do if Hoseok actually takes you to court?" Seungcheol asked quietly.
"I guess I'm fighting back until I get full custody and he gets no visitation rights."
Tumblr media
"You WHAT?" Jimin screeched.
Hoseok winced, shamefully looking down at his feet while the other members glared at him fiercely. He was embarrassed and ashamed of his words after thinking back on what he said when he met you yesterday. He didn't know what he was thinking at the moment—in fact, he wasn't thinking. He had no idea why he threatened to take you to court and was shocked it even crossed his mind in the first place. He would never try to take the twins away from you and never considered it until you flat-out refused to let him see them. Hoseok didn't expect you to say yes right away and was prepared to ease his way back into your life but hadn't considered that you wouldn't allow him anywhere near them. He prided himself in being able to control his anger but the past few weeks had been overwhelming after realizing that he had been in the wrong for the past three years and you were telling the truth all along. His anger took the best of him and before he could stop himself, he threatened to take you to court even though he had no intention to.
"Please tell me you're kidding." Namjoon pleaded, pinching the bridge of his nose when Hoseok shook his head.
"Why would you say that? In what world do you have the right to say that?" Jimin demanded.
"I don't know, it just slipped out in the heat of the moment." Hoseok weakly explained.
Jungkook whistled lowly before shaking his head. "There's no way you're getting out of this one, hyung. It's one thing to accuse her of cheating but it's another to tell her that you're gonna take her to court over the kids you abandoned. Even your lawyers aren't gonna side with you on this one."
"I know that." Hoseok snapped. "Do you think I meant it? I said it without thinking."
"Do you ever think?" Yoongi retorted.
Hoseok's head snapped in his direction, hurt evident on his face. "What?" He questioned. He glanced around the room, finally noticing how the members were all looking down at him with the same expression of disappointment and anger. He gulped and forced back the tears that stung his eyes, realizing he dug himself even further into his grave.
"Do you ever think?" Yoongi repeated. "You didn't think four years ago when you broke up with Y/N, you didn't think when you accused her of cheating, you didn't think when you left her alone to raise your child on her own, and now you didn't think after seeing her for the first time in person since the breakup. You keep using the excuse that you didn't think and that your emotions got the best of you but those excuses stopped being valid three years ago, Hoseok. How long are you going to stop taking responsibility for your actions?"
"Now, I'll stop now," Hoseok replied, harshly wiping away the tear that rolled down his face. "I just found out that Y/N was telling the truth and that we have two kids. I need some time to process all of this."
"And spending days tracking her down to confront her at her cafe was the way to go?" Taehyung asked.
Hoseok fell silent. They all stared down at him, waiting for him to respond. The intensity of their stares made him squirm in his seat, uncomfortable with the tense environment. "Look, I know that I approached all of this the wrong way and that I have years of groveling to make up for everything I did to Y/N but can you cut me some slack? I don't understand why you guys are tag-teaming me all of a sudden."
"If we're not being harsh on you, then who will?" Namjoon questioned. "We're not saying all of this to make you feel bad. You've put Y/N through so much and it's about time you own up to what you did. Even if it means you have to hear nagging from us."
"You guys know that all of you need to apologize to her too, right? I'm not the only one who abandoned her." Hoseok pointed out.
Jimin nodded his head. "We know, hyung. But it starts with you before it starts with us."
"I know."
"We're not on your side anymore, hyung."
"I know."
"Do you? Because you've been acting awfully immature since the parking garage incident." Yoongi crossed his arms over his chest.
"God, why are you being such an asshole about this? I know I messed up, hyung and I know it was wrong of me to threaten to take Y/N to court but it was in the heat of the moment. I would never try to take the twins away from her when she was the one who raised them alone for three years because I was the one who abandoned her. I don't need you to give me a hard time when Jin hyung already is." Hoseok's voice grew louder as he glowered at Yoongi, feeling the same anger from when he fought with Seokjin bubble inside of him again
"Because I've been holding my anger against you ever since you broke up with Y/N and the one time you get the chance to fix things with her, you screw up again. I watched you fuck over my best friend with baseless accusations and let her become a scapegoat but I'll be damned if you hurt her again. My biggest regret is not standing up for her because her life would've been a hell of a lot easier if she had at least one person supporting her."
Hoseok and Yoongi stared at each other, the tension thickening tenfold. The rest of the members glanced in between them, suddenly feeling awkward and uncomfortable as they stared each other down. Though none of them said it aloud when Seokjin shared how he felt about the breakup a few days ago, they all agreed with what he said. His words rang in their ears with them afterward and the longer that they thought about what he said, the more they realized he was right.
“Fix this, Hoseok. Nobody is on your side anymore and if that doesn't tell you you're in the wrong, then I don't know what will."
Tumblr media
The bartender stared at Hoseok wearily as he downed another shot. He lost count of how many shots he gave the man but now he was worried that he was going to get alcohol poisoning. The last thing he needed was for his face to be plastered all over the media for killing the dance leader of BTS.
"Two more shots please." Hoseok slurred.
"I'm cutting you off for the night, Hoseok-ssi."
Minjun swiped the shot glasses away from him and grabbed the credit card Hoseok had taken out at the beginning of the night, charging him for all of the shots he had drunk within the past two hours. He felt bad for Hoseok, who had been staring at the table like a wounded puppy while progressively getting drunker. He came into the bar alone and immediately asked for two shots of the strongest alcohol they offered, which Minjun was reluctant to give until Hoseok offered to pay double for them. It was clear he was going through relationship issues because he started mumbling about someone named 'Y/N' under his breath half an hour ago.
"No, I need to forget about Y/N." Hoseok protested, holding his hands out in front of him. "Give me more shots."
"I don't want you to die from alcohol poisoning," Minjun replied, wiping down the counters. "I would be sentenced to life in prison if I killed a member of BTS. Is there somebody who can come pick you up?"
Hoseok mumbled a name but it came out muffled as his head was buried underneath his arms. He was asked to repeat it, eagerly sitting upright as he repeated your name over and over again.
"Y/N, I want Y/N to pick me up!" Hoseok exclaimed. "Can you call her?"
"I don't know her number, sir," Minjun replied. He furrowed his eyebrows, confused by the sudden change in opinion about this so-called Y/N. Wasn’t he just complaining about how he wanted to forget about you?
"Call Y/N!"
"I can't call her number if I don't know her number. Is there another BTS member who can pick you up?"
Hoseok violently shook his head, almost falling off of his chair from the force. He wanted you to pick him up and he’ll be damned if anybody else came to take him home. He would camp out in the bar for the rest of the night if need be. “Y/N, I want my Y/N,” He moaned, dropping his head into the counter.
Minjun cringed before suggesting, “How about you call her? Have you thought about doing that?”
“Y/N hates me,” Hoseok whined.
“Then why do you want her to pick you up?”
“Because I love her.”
His bottom lip quivered as tears welled up in his eyes at the thought of your hatred for him. He sniffed, slouching over in his seat as he recalled the way you looked at him yesterday. “I don’t want her to hate me.”
Minjun sighed deeply. He was not being paid enough to deal with customers like Hoseok. He was certainly going to demand a raise after his shift was over. “How about I call her for you? Just tell me her phone number and I’ll talk to her.”
Hoseok perked up again, nodding his head furiously. "Yes, please talk to her! I still remember her number." He recited your number confidently, which was one of the few numbers he knew by heart. He just hoped you didn't change your number after the breakup.
"Hello?"
Minjun blinked, shocked that you had actually replied. He was convinced that Hoseok was just talking out of his ass but you were a real person. "Hi, Y/N-ssi, I'm Minjun, a bartender at Whiskey Lounge. I'm here with Jung Hoseok-ssi, who gave me your number. He's been drinking for the past two hours and is drunk right now. He insists on you picking him up and refuses to go home with one of his band members. Would you be able to pick him up?"
You pulled your phone away from your ear, making sure that it was a real phone call. You stared at the call for a moment before clearing your throat. "Hi, Minjun-ssi, thank you for cutting him off from drinking too much. I won't be able to pick him up but I can contact one of the Bangtan members to come get him and I'll call you back when one of them is on the way. I'm sorry if he was causing a disruption and thank you for reaching out to me."
"Of course, it's no problem at all. I'll be watching over him for the time being."
"Thank you. Have a good night, Minjun-ssi."
"You as well."
You sighed deeply once you heard the line disconnect, groaning loudly before you called up Mingyu to explain the situation to him. This was the consequence of not changing your number after the breakup, you supposed. Mingyu was more than happy to contact Jungkook about what was going on and assured you that he and Jungkook would handle it from here on out. You thanked him profusely and apologized for bothering him at such a late hour, but the younger man found the situation too amusing to be irritated.
"Looks like he's still obsessed with you." He teased.
"Oh shut it."
Tumblr media
"Hoseok hyung?"
The older man was slumped over the bar, his face buried in between his arms as he tried falling asleep. Upon hearing his name, he lazily lifted his head before grinning when he saw who was staring back at him. "Jungkookie, it's nice to see you."
Jungkook shook his head disappointedly with a sigh. "You're such an embarrassment sometimes, hyung. Come on, let's go home." He tried to wrap his arm around Hoseok's waist and help him off of the stool but received a swat in the chest instead.
"Go away, I don't want you. I want Y/N." Hoseok whined.
"Well, Y/N is a working woman with a full-time job and two kids. She's too busy to be picking you up when you're drunk." The maknae snapped, forcefully dragging him away from the bar.
Hoseok’s eyes welled up again, causing Minjun to sigh and leave the scene. “She hates me. Y/N hates me.”
“Yeah, and for a good reason too.”
Jungkook dragged Hoseok out of the bar, cursing him out for being so stubborn and refusing to cooperate. It took him a few minutes, but he was able to force him into the car, buckled in his seatbelt, and slammed the door shut. Jungkook settled in the driver’s seat, quickly stepping on the gas before Hoseok could try to get out. Quite frankly, he had been tired of his hyung lately, and having to pick him up at two in the morning because he was drunk was pushing him over the edge. He ignored Hoseok's mumbles, opting to listen to music rather than entertain his drunk friend.
“Jungkookie,” Hoseok mumbled as the two of them trudged over to the elevators.
“What, hyung?” Jungkook replied, already fed up with the conversation.
“Are you mad at me?”
The youngest sighed before shaking his head. “No hyung, not mad. Just disappointed.” He truthfully answered.
Even in his drunken state, Hoseok felt ashamed of what he said to you at your cafe. He curled into himself as he leaned against the elevator walls, wishing they would swallow him whole. Jungkook noticed his sudden distress and sighed before rubbing his back comfortingly.
"It's okay, hyung. You made big mistakes but can fix them if you give yourself the time. I don't think Y/N noona is entirely opposed to having you back in her life."
Hoseok perked up at his comment. "You think so?" He hopefully asked.
Jungkook chuckled, "Yes, I think so. She may be angry now but she loves you so much."
The dance leader visibly brightened, allowing Jungkook to haul him over to the dorm. "She still loves me." He beamed. "I should call her."
Jungkook's eyes widened as the door accidentally swung open, slamming against the wall. "You should what?" He questioned, yanking Hoseok inside before shutting the door again.
"I should call her and tell her I still love her too." Hoseok fumbled with his phone but it was quickly snatched away from him. "Hey!"
"You are not going to call her, hyung. Not at three in the morning when she's still mad at you."
"But you said she loves me!" Hoseok whined.
Jungkook sighed deeply, pinching the bridge of his nose. He didn't realize that his words would hold so much weight to Hoseok but should've known better than to tell a drunk man that his ex-lover still loved him. "That doesn't mean you should call her right now. What are you gonna do, profess your undying love for her?"
"Yes." Hoseok stumbled a few feet as he tried to take off his shoes. "Y/N needs to know that I still love her and never stopped. I want to tell her that she's the only person who's been on my mind since we broke up and that I haven't looked at another woman since. She is the only one for me." He dropped to the ground, lying face down on the cold floor whilst continuing to mumble about his love for you.
Jungkook stared at his hyung, unable to believe what he was witnessing. He sighed again before lifting Hoseok off of the ground and taking him to his bedroom. He changed Hoseok out of his clothes and left him in his boxers, tucking him into his bed as if he were a child (spoiler: he's not). The older man easily complied, continuing to mumble about you and his everlasting love for you under his breath. Jungkook left a glass of water with ibuprofen on the nightstand and plugged Hoseok's phone into the charger before leaving him to sleep for the night. He sluggishly retreated to his room, where Taehyung and Jimin were waiting for him.
"How was picking up Hobi hyung?" Taehyung asked, amused by the way Jungkook flopped onto his bed face first.
"Awful." He grumbled. "The poor bartender looked exhausted and Hobi hyung would not shut up about Y/N noona. Did you know that he's still in love with her?"
Jimin sat up at the speed of light, looking alarmed. "He's what?"
Jungkook nodded solemnly. "I think there are a lot of things Hobi hyung hasn’t told us.”
Tumblr media
"Bye-bye!"
Jaeyoung and Jaehee waved to you excitedly before Eunae shut the door behind her. She came over to your apartment bright and early to take the twins to daycare since her shift started a little later during the day. You were extremely grateful that your best friend jumped at every opportunity to help you with the twins and she adored spending every second with them when she had the chance. There would be times when you would go a few days without seeing her because she had back-to-back shifts that lasted at least twelve hours but nowadays, her schedule was rather lax.
Thanks to her, you could spend a quiet morning by yourself before you had to head to the cafe to do an inventory check. The cafe had been busier than usual thanks to the Seventeen members you found yourself having to restock on many items more often than in the past. Your cafe turned into a tourist spot for CARATs who were visiting from abroad. You were grateful for the business they gave you but hadn't expected your business to start growing rapidly. You didn’t know when was the last time you could settle down with a proper breakfast (one that didn't consist of eating leftover toddler scraps) so you were eager to make yourself an actual meal.
While you waited for the water to boil to make soup, you checked the missed call that you noticed earlier in the day. The number wasn't in your contacts but it was vaguely familiar to you. You couldn't quite put your finger on whose number it was but the person left you a voicemail at two in the morning.
“Y/N, it’s Hoseok.”
Your breath hitched as you pulled your phone away from your ear, staring at the number displayed across your screen as a sense of deja vu washed over you. When Hoseok became extremely busy once BTS began to take off, he often left voicemails for you because of differing time zones and work schedules. He greeted you the same way every time he left a message and though the greeting lacked the pet name he used you to call, it tugged your heartstrings all the same.
To say you were shocked that he still remembered your number would be an understatement, especially since he was drunk last night. Curious about what Hoseok had to say, you placed your phone back against your ear and took a seat at the dining table.
"I called you to tell you that I'm an idiot. I was stupid for saying that I would take you to court for the twins when I have no right to even see their faces once in my life. I don't want to take them away from you and would never try to. I'm sorry for everything Y/N. I treated you awfully when I broke up with you and there is nothing in the world I can do to make up for it. I'm so sorry, Y/Nie. I know I don't deserve any ounce of forgiveness but I wanted you to know I'm sorry and I love you. Please forgive me, I-"
Right before he could continue his ramble, he heard a door slam open. "Hoseok hyung, I told you to go to sleep. Who are you talking to right now?"
You heard Hoseok arguing with Jungkook before the line went dead, promptly ending the phone call and Hoseok's pathetic apology. You played the voicemail again, listening to your ex-boyfriend apologize through drunken slurs with bated breath. You played it again and again in hopes that the apology would placate the anxiety you felt ever since you saw Jungkook and fill the hole Hoseok left after breaking up with you but it didn’t help. The apology you waited to hear finally came yet it was falling on deaf ears.
It was wrong of you to take a drunken voicemail as a genuine apology from Hoseok but you were so desperate to hear the words “I’m sorry” fall out of his mouth. He wasn’t worth your time nor deserved your forgiveness however after waiting four years for an apology, you could feel the defenses you built up against Hoseok slowly weakening. Even if you weren't going to accept his apology from the voicemail, you knew you were eventually going to crack. You were still weak when it came to him and you always would be.
After all, you're only human.
Tumblr media
"Holy shit."
Hoseok let out a groan as he opened his eyes, immediately feeling his head pounding from the sunlight that was streaming through his window. He yanked the covers over his head, hoping it would ease his headache but to no avail. He mentally cursed himself for drinking last night, irritated that he got carried away and got blackout drunk. Drinking to the point of having no memories of the night before was something he hadn't done in years.
He reached out for the painkillers that were on the nightstand, immediately taking two of them before washing them down with water. Hoseok stared at the floor, reflecting on his actions as if he were a child who got put on timeout. Faint memories of the night before flashed in his mind and he winced from the embarrassment of his behavior.
Hoseok eventually reached for his phone, figuring that there was no point in dwelling on something that already happened. He caught up on the plethora of messages that filled up his phone, ignoring most of them. He only replied to Jimin and Taehyung, who were worried that he was suffering from an awful hangover that would require him to be hospitalized. Their messages did get a chuckle out of him which immediately made his headache worse.
"Knock, knock."
The door opened and Jungkook came walking in with a tray of food in his hands. The smell of hangover soup wafted through the air and into Hoseok's nose, causing him to gag. He wasn't the type of person to seek food upon waking up after a night of drinking and with the nausea that still overtook him, Hoseok was prepared to run to the bathroom and vomit. He scrunched his nose at the smell of the spicy soup. Nothing about the steaming bowls of rice and soup was appealing to him.
"You have to eat, hyung." Jungkook urged, setting the tray down on the nightstand.
"I'm going to throw up all over you if you don't get that thing away from me in the next 30 seconds."
Hoseok didn't know why Jungkook was laughing when there was nothing funny about the fact he was suffering from a raging hangover. The maknae ignored him, grabbing the small table he brought for Hoseok and setting it up on the bed.
"Once you're done eating, make sure you text Y/N noona an apology for last night," Jungkook mentioned.
"Why? I didn't even talk to her last night." Hoseok snorted.
"For the drunk voicemail you sent her."
"The what?"
While Jungkook happily recalled what happened the night before, Hoseok was frantically searching through his call log to see if he truly did call you. Much to his horror, your number sat at the top of the most recent call log. "Why did you let me call her?"
"You did that all by yourself after I tucked you into bed like the child you are. I came back in because you were talking to yourself come to find out that you were confessing your love to Y/N noona and blubbering about how sorry you were." Jungkook snapped, slamming down the bowls on the table. "Don't get snippy with me when you're the one who called her."
Hoseok stared at your number miserably as he thought of dozens of different ways to apologize to you for everything that had transpired within the past week. Surely by now, he would have to provide financial compensation simply for existing in your life.

Hey Y/N, it's Seokjin. I got your number from Jungkook who got it from Mingyu. I know that's an invasion of privacy and I’m sorry we went behind your back to do that despite the fact that you want no contact with any of us but I wanted to reach out and talk about what happened with Hoseok. You probably don't wanna talk to me and it's far too late for me to be reaching out now but I really do want to talk. If you're able to meet up with me, please let me know. I would love to see you again.

Tumblr media
When you were younger, you didn’t really understand why no one wanted to be friends with you.
Apart from your butler Yeonjun (who's paid to put up with your shit but is still genuine in his companionship nonetheless), a paintbrush and a canvas were the only real confidants you had for your pent up frustrations as a child.
Now that you're older, your isolation becomes more self-induced.
"Is it true that she's back together with Kim Taehyung again?”
“No, I heard that her family arranged for her and Park Jimin to marry next year...”
“But wasn't she spotted looking cozy with Jeon Jungkook at a bar last week?”
"No, no, I could've sworn she was hooking up with Min Yoongi—"
"Damn, she's going through men way too fast, don't you think?"
“Honestly, I think she's just a spoiled, rich playgirl."
You sigh, sitting on your chair in the art room of your very own mansion — a gift from your father after he missed out on your eighteenth birthday — while Yeonjun watches you paint your heart out.
“I haven’t seen Kim Seokjin around lately…” he muses as he steps closer to look at your work. By the looks of it, you must be feeling some pretty angry emotions.
“Silly Yeonjun,” you giggle too loudly, hand gripping your brush rather forcefully as you stare at your palette. “Seokjin and I broke up ages ago. Actually, I haven’t seen him since the haircut incident.”
Ah, the haircut incident…
Yeonjun shivers, remembering that outburst all too well. The memory of you hysterically chopping off your hair in a fit of jealousy while Kim Seokjin helplessly tried to get you to stop. That marked the end of your six-month relationship, leaving you with uneven chunks of hair and the man with a questionable restraining order.
Not your best moment, that much you can admit.
“Anyways,” you snicker, shaking your head to clear the onslaught of memories, “let’s not talk about him anymore, ‘kay?”
You stand up, leaving your painting half-finished, and walk over to the big floor-to-ceiling window.
Your mansion is the biggest in the area, filled with numerous rooms and spaces that far surpassed the amount you need for basic living. Your art room – easily the biggest room, even topping your master bedroom – houses a beautiful glass window that overlooks the property.
“Besides,” you say, clapping your hands, “we have more important things to worry about.” You turn to him and squeal, jumping up and down. “My art exhibit is in a couple of months! Can you believe it, Yeonjun?"
Your excitement has you skipping around the room in glee. You’ve been planning your own exhibit for months and now that it's drawing nearer, you feel more excited than nervous. You hope with all your heart that this exhibit could finally paint you in a proper light, letting you shine as 'the young, twenty-something art extraordinaire' instead of the 'resident fuckgirl who's only good for a weekend.'
“I know, sweetie.” Yeonjun smiles, feeling genuinely happy for you. But before he can further share in your excitement, the doorbell rings.
The noise makes you glance at your watch and smirk. Right on time.
Together, you and Yeonjun walk down the massive staircase to greet your guest, and Jung Hoseok hears you before he even catches sight of you — the clicking of your heels resonating loudly across the living room. He turns his head to the sound and smiles handsomely at the both of you.
For a few moments, none of you say a word but the electricity between you and your guest is hard to ignore.
"Shall I leave you to your business?" Yeonjun breaks the silence, directing the question at you. After all, at this point, he already knows the drill whenever you have your guests over.
You nod, never taking your eyes off Hoseok's and your butler immediately excuses himself.
Once it's just the two of you left, Hoseok holds out a hand to you. “Jung Hoseok. Pleasure to meet you."
You tell him your name, placing your hand in his and immediately, he brings it up to gently brush his lips against your knuckles. “Pleasure's all mine, Hoseok."
“Just Hobi is fine, gorgeous."
He winks at you and smiles. And just like all the other times, you feel yourself falling. Spiralling. Obsessing.
“Hobi…” you repeat, “shall we go over the terms of your company's sponsorship for my art exhibit?”
“Of course,” he responds. "Shall we discuss it in your office?"
"Oh no," you feign disappointment.
"What is it?"
“I'm terribly sorry, Hobi,” you utter, “but my office is under renovations at the moment—"
(It isn't.)
"—and I’m afraid it's not convenient for business discussions for the time being.”
“Is that so?” Hoseok muses, his eyes on your lips as you purse them contemplatively. “Should we take our discussion somewhere else, then?” He offers, not wanting to cut his visit short.
He stares right into your pretty eyes and he swears you've performed some sort of magic right then and there because he finds himself right under your spell.
“Good idea." You smile, your hand sliding up to rest on the crook of his elbow as you lead him up your stairs. “I know the perfect place.”
And that's how he found himself in your bedroom, sitting on the edge of your immaculate bed with your head bobbing up and down between his legs.
"Shit," he curses when you take him deeper in your mouth. "Yeah, that's it, gorgeous."
You look up at him with wide eyes, making sure to maintain eye contact when you swallow around him. He bites his lip at the feeling, his thumb reaching out to wipe the stray tears running down your cheek.
You look so pretty. So fucking gorgeous.
Hoseok wonders how the hell he managed to get an invitation to your bed. Sure, he's quite attractive but you're in a whole other league of your own. You're way up there on a pedestal, you and the other chaebols in your wealthy family's circle. Whereas, he's just a mere businessman trying to negotiate a sponsorship proposal.
But, fuck, he's not complaining.
You whine when he pulls you up and onto his lap, your lips releasing his dick with a pop. Feeling needy, you suckle at the soft skin of his neck while he desperately removes your clothes and then his.
"Hobi," you whimper into his neck and the sound goes straight to his already hard cock. "Need you. Please."
"Shit," he groans when you rub your leaking core against his thigh. "Hold on to me."
You comply, wrapping your arms and legs around him, and he stands up to walk the both of you towards your bedroom's clear, glass window. Just like the one in your art room, this one spans wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling, and overlooks the front of the mansion.
He sets you down on your feet and turns you around so that you're looking out. Your pussy dribbles even more arousal at the sight of your enormous front gates from the distance, the thought of being seen turning you on.
"Hobi," you whine when you feel his throbbing cock prodding at your entrance, and push your ass out in response.
"Don't hold back, gorgeous," he tells you when you let out a muffled moan. "I want the whole mansion to hear you."
He enters you swiftly, making you groan loudly and press your palms against the window. He pulls back, making you whine desperately and shift your weight on your feet. He slams back inside roughly, making you scream incoherently and fuck yourself back on him.
"That's it," Hoseok groans, "fuck me back."
And you do.
He thrusts into you in rough but deep thrusts. You fuck back into him, arching your back, causing your tits to press against the glass. The added stimulation to your nipples makes you play with your clit, making figure eight motions and heightening your pleasure.
"Shit, gorgeous. You're creaming."
He sees a creamy ring of white on the base of his cock and curses, the sight pushing him closer to his climax. You only whine in response, clenching around him uncontrollably.
"Hobi, I'm gonna—"
"Cum with me, gorgeous," he coaxes you. "Now."
You obey, cumming around him while he finishes inside you. You're breathing heavily, relishing in the warmth of his release and he just chuckles affectionately at your fucked out face.
He pulls out of you and when you lead him back to your bed, he suddenly feels exhausted. His eyes can barely stay open and the last thing he remembers before sleep takes over him is your voice telling him three little words.
When Hoseok wakes up, he sees you all dressed, propped up on the headboard and glaring at him.
"What's wrong, gorgeous?" he asks groggily.
"Who's Sooah?" you ask him immediately, your voice clipped.
"What?"
You show him the unlocked phone in your hand. His phone.
"What the fuck? You went through my phone?"
"She was texting you nonstop. Who is she?"
"She's a colleague, not that I need to explain myself to you. And she's the venue coordinator for your art exhibit!"
"I don't beleve you!"
"How the fuck did you even know my password?"
"Are you cheating on me?" you demand, tears falling down your face.
"Cheating on you?" he repeats your question incredulously. "We literally just met!"
But you aren't listening to him. No, you're spiralling, clutching your hair and looking at him desperately. "Did I do something wrong? Is she prettier than me? Is she—"
"You're insane," he cuts you off, frightened at your sudden behavior. As quickly as he possibly can, he puts on his clothes and scrambles towards your bedroom door. "Fuck this shit, I'm leaving."
To his surprise, you don't follow him, though he can hear your heartbroken wails all the way to the front door. When he gets to his car, his eyes widen and his jaw drops.
"WHAT THE FUCK? YOU WRECKED MY CAR?!" he yells, the question directed at you but his exasperated eyes are trained on his wrecked vehicle.
The punctured tiles, cracked windshield, and dented exterior would cost him a fortune. But he decides that's a problem for another day. Right now, he just has to get out of here.
"Crazy bitch," he mutters when he finally exits your property gates on foot.
Back in your room, you cry your heart out while Yeonjun caresses your hair comfortingly.
Your butler knows the drill by now. You just need one day to cry all your tears, another day to forget about it, and around three more days to move on.
Which is why, a few days later, Yeonjun opens the door to a charming, dimpled face. He leads the man to the living room where you're waiting and leaves you two to your business.
"What's your name?" you ask your guest.
"Kim Namjoon," he replies, taking your hand and kissing it. "Pleasure to meet you, gorgeous."
A heartbeat. Then another.
And then you smile.

Here With Me
Pairing: Hoseok x Reader 
Genre: Fluff + established relationship + just a sweet Hobi taking care of his love when they are sick during Christmas
Word Count: 1.1K
A/N: Happy holidays, love y’all 
Tumblr media
“Honey, are you sure you will be alright by yourself over the holiday weekend?” your mom asked, concern filling her voice on the other end of the phone. You sniffled, clearing your throat before responding.
“I’ll be fine, Mom. Besides, I am in no state to fly home this year,” you moved the phone away from your mouth as you coughed, the sound punctuating your sentiment. You brought the microphone back toward you with a sigh, “I want nothing more than to be home with you and Dad, you know that.”
“I know you do, sweetheart. We’ll just have to celebrate later when you’re feeling better.”
“Sure, Mom, that sounds great,” you said, trying to hide the disappointment in your voice. You hung up the phone, dropping your head onto your pillow with a loud groan. You couldn’t believe your terrible luck—instead of celebrating at your childhood home with your family, you would be spending Christmas sick and alone in your apartment.
Your phone vibrated next to you; lifting your head, you rubbed at your red nose as you read the text you received from your boyfriend.
Are you sure you’re okay? I can drop off whatever you need. – Hoseok 
I’m fine, really. I’ll just sleep it off. – Y/N
I don’t believe you.
I wouldn’t lie to you, Hobi!!
To keep me from worrying, you absolutely would.
I resent that statement.
Come on, Y/N, just let me come over and help you.
N.O.
Y.E.S. I’ll even sit with you and watch those cheesy romance movies you like to watch during the holidays!
Babe, I love you for offering, but I really will be fine. My germs will keep me company.
Three dots popped up, indicating Hoseok was typing, but they disappeared after a few seconds. You could picture his grumpy face looking at the screen, frustrated with you for turning down his offer to take care of you.
You locked your phone, leaving it on your nightstand as you went to the kitchen to go make another cup of hot tea. You wrapped yourself tightly in your fuzzy blanket, shuffling in your slippers toward the stove to heat up your kettle.
Mug in hand, you made your way back to your living room to watch a holiday favorite of yours. As it grew darker outside, you paused the movie to turn on the lights on your small Christmas tree in the corner. The lights twinkled against the shiny ornaments, making your apartment glow. You couldn’t help the sad smile that appeared on your face at the thought of missing out on your holiday traditions this year.
An abrupt knock on your front door interrupted your thoughts. You almost forgot about the soup you ordered to be delivered. You grabbed your wallet, rifling through for a few bills to tip the driver. Opening the door, cash in hand, you were shocked to see your boyfriend holding not only your soup, but a bag you could only assume was filled with the sick-day essentials.
“Hobi, what the hell are you doing here?” you asked incredulously.
“Did you actually think I was about to leave you here alone? On Christmas?” he asked, stepping past your shocked figure into the doorway, taking off his shoes in the process.
You covered your mouth and chin with your sweater in a feeble attempt to stop the germs from spreading to the man in front of you.  
“You have to leave! You are going to get sick!” you shouted through your knitwear, voice muffled from the fabric. Hoseok pulled off his beanie and coat, ignoring your warning. He moved toward you, but you quickly stepped to the side away from him. He ignored your continued attempts to maneuver out of his grasp, eventually succeeding in wrapping his arms around your waist.
“I probably already have your germs, anyway. I kissed you two days ago,” Hobi said, not letting your wriggling form out of his grip. He waited until you eventually stopped moving, giving up and letting your body be in his hold. He gently pulled the sweater down from your mouth, finger caressing your chin sweetly. “There, that’s better.” You huffed at him.
“Fine, but if you get sick, I am not taking care of you,” you scoffed. Hoseok laughed; the sight of his bright smile nearly making your resolve crack.
“We both know that’s not true, Y/N,” Hobi said, hand grabbing yours to lead you back to the couch. He got you settled onto the cushions, placing your blanket gently over your lap. “The last time I was sick you basically refused to leave my side.” You crossed your arms, trying to ignore the warmth blossoming in your chest as Hobi started heating up the soup on the stove—he looked so at home taking care of you. It was annoyingly perfect.
He carefully brought over a steaming bowl with a spoon on a tray when it was ready, placing it on the coffee table in front of you.
“Now, are you going to let me watch this Christmas movie with you and stop pretending you don’t want me to be here?” Hoseok said teasingly, sitting down next to you.  
You lifted the blanket, letting him get under it so his leg could be flush against yours. A silent concession.
“See, I knew you wanted to cuddle.” Hoseok leaned over, kissing your cheek.
“Just shush and watch the movie.”
“Make sure you eat your soup before it gets cold, babe.”
You rolled your eyes, eating a bite of the warm broth to placate your boyfriend. Hobi pressed play on the remote, the sounds of the movie filling your apartment as he pulled you into his chest, wrapping the blanket more snuggly around you. Hoseok periodically checked in on you throughout the movie, fussing over whether you had enough water, passing you the box of tissues when he heard you sniffle, making sure you finished your soup—despite your initial grumbling, he was the perfect picture of a concerned and loving boyfriend. You didn’t know how you got so lucky.
“I didn’t want to spend Christmas alone,” you whispered a few minutes after the movie credits started rolling. “It means a lot to me that you would come take care of me like this.” You thought for a moment that Hobi hadn’t heard you. Then you felt a kiss being pressed against the top of your head. You snuggled deeper against his sweatshirt. “Thank you for being here with me.”
“I’ll always be here for you. Merry Christmas, Y/N.”
“Merry Christmas, Hobi.”

“I’m your biggest fan.”
hoseok x reader (oc) genre: fluff word count: 1.1K
a/n: Hi lovelies! This isn’t the most well crafted fic/best edited but I wanted to get it out there because IT’S OFFICIALLY HOBIPALOOZA!!! Here we have Petal/reader painting Hobi’s nails the night before his show and they just have a cute moment bc why not, right? I hope you all enjoy and thanks for reading! :)) 
Tumblr media
There was no place else you’d rather be. Sitting cross legged on the unfamiliar bed inside the hotel room that had become somewhat of a home to you for the past few days, you determined this was exactly what you wanted to be doing at 1 a.m. on a Sunday.
You were focused on the task in front of you, careful not to create a mess all over your boyfriend’s hands as you hummed along to the melodic beat reverberating from his phone.
“How are you feeling?” You asked, looking up at Hoseok’s face as you dipped the nail polish brush back into the bottle.
You were met with a sigh before a lazy grin slightly lifted on Hoseok’s features, though you couldn’t see much of it through the sheet mask he wore. His hair was pushed back and secured with a pink headband that looked much too adorable on him. “Excited,” he told you before sighing once more. “Nervous.”
Giving him a gentle smile, you nodded. “That’s understandable.” He was playing his first solo show in less than twenty-four hours, after all. A few moments of peaceful silence washed over you as you applied more of the dark nail polish to his pointer finger. “You’re going to kill it though,” you noted as you looked back up at him. “And not just because you always do, or because you were born to perform, but because you’ve been fucking meticulous with this show and you’re more than prepared.” Chuckling lightly at you, he shook his head.
“I’m so excited for your show,” you beamed at him. “And if you ever, for some reason, forget who the fuck you are and those nerves start kicking in, just look to the side of the stage.”
“What will I find there?” He asked, his voice showing his pique of interest.
“Me, rapping and singing along to everything and staring at you in awe with my lovestruck gaze and my ever-growing fondness and pride,” you told him, wearing a proud smile. “I’m your biggest fan.”
The man let out an exhale, full of relief and appreciation. “I’m so glad you’re here, Petal.” Giggling in response, you looked back down at his hand. However, his fingers that hadn’t been touched up yet found your chin, lifting your head so your gaze met his once more. “I’m serious,” he told you, his expression unreadable through the skin care product but his tone earnest and emotional.
You both shared a brief moment of sincerity, neither of you saying anything but rather letting your connection and mutual appreciation sit together. And then you rolled your eyes.
Hoseok let out an amused laugh as you sat up straight, your eyes widening. “You would have had to restrain me from getting on that flight,” you pointed out, holding back a smile. “Where else would I be right now? I would have hijacked a plane to get here. I would have swam across the ocean to get here, are you kidding?”
“Stop it,” he laughed breathlessly, using his unpainted hand to attempt to push the face mask back into place as it slipped over his skin.
Smiling at him, you screwed the nail polish applicator back into the bottle and set it aside before sitting up on your knees. “Here, this can come off anyways,” you told him as you crawled onto his lap, straddling his thighs. Pulling the sheet mask from his face, your eyes brightened at seeing his pretty features beneath it. “There you are,” you greeted. “Hi.”
“Hi,” he giggled in response, only finding more amusement in the way you tossed the mask aside, both of you noting the splat it made when it landed on the bedside table.
Carefully, you began patting the remaining serum into his skin, Hoseok’s eyelids fluttering shut as you did so. “Seriously, though,” you spoke softly, not wanting to disturb the peacefulness that had enveloped you. “Of course I’m here. No place else I’d rather be, Sunshine,” you told him, noting the way his throat bobbed at your words.
“Thank you,” he replied, his voice low and quiet, barely above a whisper. He didn’t have to thank you, but you chose to simply let the words sit with you both, understanding they meant so much more than your presence in Chicago with him.
As you patted your fingers against his forehead, ensuring his skin absorbed the excess product, one of Hoseok’s eyes opened, peering up at you. Meeting his gaze, you stared at him scrutinizingly. “What?” You whispered, biting back a grin.
“Have you picked a favorite song yet?” He asked, giggling when you rolled your eyes at him once more. “Come on,” he whined through his laughter. “You have to have a favorite, or at least a song that stands out to you.”
“I really love Arson,” you commented, avoiding meeting his eyes as you worked your fingers over to his temples.
“Yeah?” He said excitedly. Nodding at him, his expression of glee transformed into one of skepticism. “Wait, but let me guess,” he realized, you already smiling at him. “Almost as much as you love Equal Sign and and Safety Zone and What if, and-”
“Exactly,” you confirmed, beaming at him as he groaned. “They’re all so good, stop being so talented and maybe I’ll be able to pick a favorite one of these days,” you shrugged at him.
“You’re ridiculous,” he giggled, wrapping one hand around your waist as your hands instinctively cradled his jaw. However, when you noticed the man’s freshly painted hand hovering over your back, you gasped.
“Put that hand away,” you scolded him, Hoseok’s eyes widening as a wide grin spread over his face.
“Or what?” he asked, challenging you.
Letting out a scoff, you shook your head as a smirk formed on your lips. “Or you’ll mess up your nails.”
Craning his neck, his face inched towards yours, his lips ghosting over yours and allowing you to feel the way his breath fanned over them. He was enticing you and you had no desire to hold back. Connecting your mouth to his, you kissed him softly at first before the man held you closer to him, squeezing his arm around you. Deepening the meeting, you kissed him harder just as he bucked his hips up against you, his hand flattening against the side of your waist making you gasp.
As you tried to pull away from him to scold him for putting his freshly painted nails at risk, Hoseok giggled and flipped you over so you were on your back and the man was hovering over you.
“I guess you’ll just have to redo them,” he teased, eliciting a silent laugh from you as you lightheartedly smacked his bicep in protest.
“You’re so obnoxious,” you groaned, flattening your palm against the muscle in his arm and slipping your opposite fingers into the hair at the back of his head, and pulling his lips to yours.
“Still happy to be here?” he mumbled into the kiss, both of you giggling against each other’s mouths.
“Of course,” you simply stated, smiling as he kissed you again.

Paris
Pairing: Hoseok x reader
Genre: pwp/smut
Summary: It's your birthday and Hobi decided to surprise you with a flight to Paris so you could be together.
Content: oral sex (m. and f. receiving), throat fucking, multiple orgasms, unprotected sex, semi-public sexual activity (up against the window), there's a very little bit of crying during/after sex
Word count: 2.5k
A/N: sometimes you have some of the worst days of your life and are sure you will never, ever want to write anything (or live lol) ever again and then later, after one (1) SSRI and your period arriving, you are suddenly normal (lmao '''''normal'''') again, which is to say that, if I could have, I would have posted this on Monday when I should have because that's when it was @amethystwritesbts's birthday and this is FOR HER. So sorry for the delay, bb, and I hope you enjoy, no one else's opinion matters lmao byeee😘😘😘
“This is amazing,” you breathed as you turned a slow circle around the hotel suite, trying to take it in. “You know you didn’t have to do this.” 
“I know,” Hoseok answered, taking you by the hand and leading you to the window, out of which you could see the Eiffel Tower, so close you couldn’t see its top without craning your neck skywards. “I wanted to. Well, actually, I was going to apologise to you; I really wish I had been able to fly to you, rather than making you come all this way.” 
Schedules were schedules and Hoseok was not always in control of his; if he had been, he would not have let anything take him from you on your birthday. Fortunately, he did at least have the resources to bring you to him, even if for a shorter time than either of you would have liked. 
“Are you crazy? It’s Paris! I would’ve flown to the back-end of nowhere to see you, but this is Paris! This is incredible! Thank you.” 
Hoseok wrapped his arms around you from behind and held you tight. 
“Only the best for my birthday girl.” 
He kissed your cheek and you hummed contentedly. You looked out at the glittering lights of the city of love and, yes, it was incredible, but it didn’t beat the feeling of your boyfriend’s arms around you, his hair tickling your cheek as he sucked little kisses onto your neck. You opened your mouth to speak; Hoseok stole the breath from your lungs as he opened his lips and bit gently down where your neck meets your shoulder; you gasped softly instead. Twisting in his arms to face him, you pushed back his hair and brought his face to yours.  
The kiss was sweet and gentle for all of one brief second, then it was heavy and pressing and his tongue was swiping your bottom lip, gliding into your mouth, sliding over yours. You moaned as Hoseok stepped forward, pushing you against the French doors, pressing himself against you. You’d missed this: the taste of him, the smell of him, the hard bite of his teeth against your soft skin. You flushed, burning up already, pulling away just slightly, swallowing hard, blinking rapidly, trying to regain some composure. 
“I think I like Paris,” you said, breathless and giddy, giggling. 
He hummed with his mouth on your neck, a little buzz on your skin that sent goosebumps shivering across it. 
“Paris, huh?”  
“Yeah, Paris.” 
He brought his face back to yours; his dark eyes sparkled and a grin spread across his face as he pressed his forehead into yours. 
“Well, I love... Paris.” 
“Yeah, I’ve really missed Paris.”  
“I’ve missed Paris, too,” he whispered.  
He touched his lips to yours lightly, but you wanted more. You pulled him closer, bit into the soft, sweet flesh of his bottom lip, and ran your tongue across it. He rolled his hips into yours and you could feel his hard cock already straining against its confines, pressing into you; the thought of it, your lips around it, your cunt squeezing it tight, sent sparks straight to your core. Hoseok tipped his head back when you left kisses on his neck, across his shoulder. Then you sank to your knees. 
“Hey,” he said softly, pushing your hair from your face. “It’s not my birthday.” 
You shrugged. 
“Will be soon enough. And we won’t both be in Paris for it.”  
You pulled his trousers down to his ankles and his boxers followed. Your mouth watered at the sight of him; your clit throbbed; he was hot and hard and he twitched when you opened your mouth and placed him on your soft, wet tongue. Hoseok groaned, looking down at you, your eyes wide and expectant. He threaded his fingers carefully through your hair and held you firm while he rolled his hips, sliding into the wet heat of your mouth. You sealed your lips around him and hollowed your cheeks, moaning to encourage him. He cursed quietly under his breath and pushed further, his cock trespassing on the tight clutch of your throat. You breathed carefully through your nose and, with your hands on the backs of his thighs, pushed until your nose hit his skin, your throat bulging with him. 
He groaned as he pulled back out and started a smooth, slow rhythm, his own breathing also careful, his eyes fluttering shut, his jaw slack. You blinked up at him as tears sprung and overflowed down your cheeks, as drool pooled in your mouth, slid down your chin, dripped onto your chest. He opened his eyes and looked down at you with black, laser-focused eyes; he usually hated making a mess but not when it was you. Not when your eyes were shiny and wet, your tears glistening in the light like stars; not when the collar of your T-shirt was dark with drool, the long column of your neck, bulging, dripping; not when your throat was so warm and tight, squeezing as you half-swallowed against him; not when he could see your hand between your legs, rubbing circles over your leggings. 
You were uncomfortably wet beneath them, your underwear sticky with it, your walls quivering in anticipation of him already. Your heart was racing and your desperation sat low and heavy in your core, the aching for him almost painful. You were about to pull back, stop, stand and finally divest both yourself and him of your clothes, finally get him naked and get him where you most wanted him, but he beat you to it, stepping backwards and dropping out of your mouth with a gasp. 
He fell to his knees in front of you and crashed his mouth into yours with enough force to knock you backwards, hitting the French doors with a thud. 
“Fuck,” he whispered. “Sorry, baby. You ok?” 
You only nodded, leaning in when he pulled you forward, leaning back when he lifted your T-shirt over your head. You threw your hands behind your back, unclasping your bra and shrugging it off your shoulders as he pulled at the waistband of your leggings and underwear at once, tugging them to your knees, waiting for you to stand so he could take them all the way off.  
He kicked off his trousers and boxers, still around his ankles, and ripped off his shirt, leaving them piled on the floor, forgotten already.  
You wondered if anyone could see you, your bare body pressed against the cold glass, several floors up but not high enough to go unnoticed. The thrill of it made you shudder; you wanted everyone to see, everyone to know. That he was yours. That only he got to fuck you like this. That only you got to fuck him like this. You whined as he pressed two fingers into your tight, slick heat, gasped as he ground his palm into your clit, unable to stop your hips jerking and rolling against it.  
“You’re so fucking wet, baby,” he growled in your ear, nipping at your earlobe. 
“Yeah,” you gasped in reply. “Well, I real-, I really ah, missed.... Paris.” 
You felt his smile stretch across your skin and the little jet of his hot breath as he chuckled on his exhale.  
“Paris, huh. You want to get fucked by Paris, do you, baby? Want all of Paris to hear you whining and moaning and coming with me?” 
You could only respond by doing just that, whining and moaning, and, as his fingers curled firmly and repeatedly against your front wall, and the heel of his hand pressed hard against your clit, and his mouth sucked hot, wet kisses on your neck, you came. Your legs shook as sparks shot through you, electric heat buzzing from your core to your extremities, shivering through you, sprinkling your skin with goosebumps. Your knees buckled and Hoseok caught you, took your weight as you steadied yourself. You breathed heavily with your forehead against his shoulder and let him lift you, but then he was turning to take you to the bed— 
“No,” you said, pressing a hand to his shoulder. You shook your head. “I want you to fuck me here.” 
His eyebrows shot to his hairline and his tongue flicked out over his bottom lip. He gently let you go, your feet touching back down onto the plush hotel room carpet. He caged you in against the glass, traced your body with his eyes, fisted his flushed dick, still wet from your mouth, and finally fixed you with a smirk. 
“You want me to fuck you against this glass door? You want everyone to see?” His voice was low, almost taunting, travelling straight to your cunt. 
“Yes,” you answered, your own voice high and tremulous with need.  
“You want everyone to know how good I can give it to you, huh?”  
You nodded fervently. 
“Good. Then I’ll give them a show.”  
He dropped to his knees and wasted no time re-acquainting his mouth with your thighs, the crease of your hip, your lips, your wet, quivering core, your clit, swollen and sensitive. You keened and your back arched against the door, your hands grasping the soft curtains before thinking twice and grabbing his hair instead. He moaned as you tangled your fingers in the soft, dark strands, tugging and gripping.  
A plea was forming on your lips, for more, for something to fill the aching emptiness in your cunt as his tongue laved over your clit; Hoseok pushed two fingers into you and then a third; the request died on a hitched breath, filled before you had to ask. He moaned against you, the vibrations in his lips buzzing against you as he played you perfectly, practised and precise. 
Your nails scraped his scalp when the pleasure bundled up within you, coiling tight like a spring. You were shaking with it, trembling as it crept faster and faster towards its crescendo, then shuddering and jerking as it burst free. Your body flooded with heat as you gushed into Hoseok’s face, over his hand, down his wrist. You sank, weakly, to the floor, shivering under the warmth of his touch.  
He pressed a kiss against your shoulder and another on your collarbone, leaving sticky prints on your flushed, glowing skin. With arms that felt like lead, you pulled on his hair again, bringing his face to yours, mashing your lips against his, opening your mouth to him, tasting all of you and a little of him and still desperate for more. With his hands around your waist, he manoeuvred you, lay you down, one side of you cold against the glass, the other warm in the heat of the room. He began to pepper kisses across your chest, swirling your nipple in his mouth, grazing it with his teeth, moving across to the other.  
“Hobi, please,” you panted. “Please just fuck me. Don't wait any more. Fuck-- please, please.” 
He knelt above you, looking down at you with a wide smile. He leant down and pressed a sweet kiss to your lips. 
“Your wish is my command, birthday girl,” he murmured, his lips moving against yours, before he kissed you again, deeper this time, sucking your bottom lip into his mouth, eliciting a weak moan from yours.  
He pulled back to line himself up with you and watch himself disappear into the hot slip of your wet cunt. He groaned and paused, fully sheathed, luxuriating in the feeling of your walls quivering against him, tight and stretched. He grinned at you as he rolled his hips and began to thrust, hard and slow. Your fingernails scraped at his arms, climbing, pulling him down. He rested on his forearms, nudged your nose with his, and you took whatever words he was about to say, swallowed them down with your lips on his. He groaned when you lifted your legs, hooking them over his hips, your pelvis tipping so that the head of his cock brushed repeatedly against your g-spot like a hotkey for pleasure, over and over again.  
Your head was swimming, flooded, drowning in him: the soft sweep of his hair over his forehead, little damp strands stuck with sweat at his hairline; the softness of his warm skin and his breath washing over you; his quiet grunts of effort, his whispered praise, the way your name sounded tripping off his tongue, the hitched breath and interrupted curse when you clenched him tighter. It hadn’t even been that long that he’d been away but it was long enough.  
You squeezed him with your legs, trying to press him closer, bring his chest to yours, to meld yourself with him, to make up for all the time—recently and not so recently—that you’d been apart. It never got easier. And at moments like this, you didn’t know how you survived it, being without this, being without him. With your whole heart and your whole body, you loved him: his taut, lithe body and the way it moved; the mastery he had over it and your body, too; his bursting heart, bright and full and open; his kindness and his generosity; his tenacity and the way he held you, strong, securely, close against him when you needed it.  
As you lurched towards your third orgasm, your heart leapt into your throat and tears pricked in your eyes again—only partly his dick’s fault. Tension coalesced in your abdomen, strength drawn from your limbs, pulling tightly inwards, then erupting forward. You shuddered and gasped and Hoseok gasped above you as you gripped him tight in the vice of your climax. You could hear him, cursing right next to your ear, as if from another room, muffled, far away as you slipped under the waves of an overwhelming pleasure.  
Hoseok came before your cunt stopped spasming, as your thighs still trembled, just as your breathing hitched again and your bottom lip wobbled, tears threatening on your waterline. He felt you shudder as he let himself go, painting your insides white, milking himself in the fluttering of your clutched-tight walls.  
“Hey,” he said softly, turning towards you, a frown pulled tight on his face. “Hey, baby, what’s wrong?” 
You brought your hands to cover your face and shook your head, feeling silly that his concern made you cry harder. You were tired from travelling, discombobulated, overwhelmed, wrung out, fucked out, that’s all. You took a deep breath—tried to take a deep breath as it stuttered in and then wobbled out again—as he pulled your hands away and brushed the tears from your cheeks. He kissed the tracks left in their wake, sweet, soft, little kisses that held the slightest tang of salt. 
“Baby,” he asked again. “What’s wrong? Are you ok?”  
You closed your eyes and held your breath, literally shaking out your hands as if that was where you held your feelings. 
“I just-” you began, opening your eyes to look at him, “- I just really missed Paris, that’s all.” 
He laughed softly and pressed a kiss to your lips.
"I missed you too, baby. I missed you, too."
