hoseok holds his cup of hot cocoa close to him, taking small, careful sips of the drink so he wouldn't burn his tongue. looking up at the gray sky above him, hoseok sighs softly, seeing his breath form as he exhales. sitting across from hoseok was his best friend of eight years, who was currently on a rant about their terrible literature professor.

"i can't stand him! how does he expect us to write a ten page paper by friday with no warning beforehand!?" jimin groans in frustration, running a hand through his signature pink hair.

"it'll be okay, minie. thankfully we have all week to do it." hoseok casts his gaze away from the bleak sky to look at his friend.

"but it's still worth half of our final grade!.. fuck, i'm gonna need a drink after this.. you know what? friday night, you and me. we're gonna go clubbing!" jimin smiles mischievously, eating the last bite of a slice of strawberry cake he bought. hoseok thought it was cute how it matched his strawberry colored hair.

"you know i don't like to drink, jimin.." hoseok rubs the back of his neck nervously, "or go clubbing for that matter.."

"oh come on hobi, it'll be fun! just the two of us! i can even do your makeup and pick out clothes for you to wear~" jimin sings, laughing when hoseok's eyes go wide in horror.

"nope! not gonna happen. last time you picked out my clothes i was being dragged to the club in tight leather pants and a shirt that didn't even cover half of my chest."

"hey! in my defense, you looked fucking hot. you have a great ass- although it's not as big as mine- but you still rocked that leather look!" hoseok reaches across the table to hit the other's arm, blushing in embarrassment as a couple people walking past overhear their conversation.

"why do you have such a big mouth!? seriously, i don't even know why i'm friends with you—"

"it's because you loveee me~" jimin laughs, capturing hoseok's hand in his before he could pull away, "okay, let's get going so we can start working on this paper. the sooner we get it over and done with, the more we can enjoy friday."

"alright, yeah.. let's go." hoseok nods in agreement, getting up from the table to throw away his empty cup of hot chocolate.

what he didn't notice was a pair of eyes following him as he walked away from the cafe with jimin.

~~~

as soon as they get back to their apartment, hoseok's phone rings. he takes it out of his coat pocket, casually answering the call as he slides off his boots at the door.

"hoseok? fuck, i'm so glad you answered. where are you right now?" his brother's voice was trembling in what sounds like.. fear? anxiety?

"i just got back to the apartment with jimin.. why? is something wrong?" hoseok bites his lip nervously, not knowing what got his brother so worked up. he sits down next to jimin on the couch who gives him a worried look.

"i'll tell you everything as soon as possible, okay? i have to go now. just, if you see something, anything suspicious at all— you call me immediately, okay? and don't go anywhere secluded by yourself."

"seokjin, i.."

"fucking promise me, hoseok. promise me you'll call me as soon as you see something suspicious."
