"it's in the eyes. always the eyes."

hoseok makes his way to the kitchen after texting jimin, realizing that he didn't eat dinner yesterday before going out to the club. once he walks in, his stomach growls loudly from the tasty smell of omelettes, rice, and kimchi. stopping in the middle of the doorway, hoseok flushes in embarrassment as he makes eye contact with the gang and two other people he hasn't met before. a couple seconds of awkward silence passes by before his brother laughs, causing the rest of the gang to let out a small chuckle.

"hungry?" jin waves hoseok over with a warm smile, patting the empty chair next to him. the brunette quickly makes his way to the seat with his eyes trained on the ground.

"so.. this is your brother?"

hoseok glances up to see a boy, most likely around his age or younger, with round innocent eyes looking back at him. there's just no way someone like him could be capable of murdering someone. then again, as hoseok eyes the tattooed mountain of muscles on the other's arms, he quickly thinks otherwise.

"ah yes. jungkook, and oh! taehyung- meet my younger brother, hoseok. hoseok, meet jungkook and taehyung." jin points to jungkook and the person sitting beside him respectively.

"hi.." hoseok waves at the two, noticing the blonde next to jungkook just staring at him with an unreadable expression on his face. now that he's thinking about it, he didn't even see taehyung crack a smile let alone a laugh a few minutes ago.

"it's nice to meet you, hoseok. you can call me jk or kookie, whichever you prefer~" jungkook winks.

kookie's a cute nickname.. hoseok thinks to himself, biting his bottom lip before he could say anything out loud that would embarrass him. his eyes trail over to taehyung again, expecting some sort of greeting but was only met with silence and a blank stare in return. does he have a staring problem or what?—

hoseok shifts uncomfortably in his seat, not wanting to be the center of taehyung's attention any longer. his wish was soon granted as taehyung gets up from the table and leaves the kitchen without a word, his plate of breakfast left untouched.

"don't mind tae, he's just a weirdo." jungkook laughs, grazing his tattooed hand against hoseok's to grab his attention. hoseok just nods, feeling his cheeks heat up from the small action.

yoongi was carefully watching the two converse this whole time. he truly hated how flirty jungkook could be sometimes, especially since he didn't even want hoseok living here in the first place. as yoongi clears his throat, jungkook glances over with a smirk before returning to eat his food.

"hoseok, we have an important meeting after this so you need to stay in your room until we're done."

hoseok snaps out of his small trance due to yoongi calling his name, "o-okay, i'll stay in my room then.. do you mind if i invite jimin over?"

"no-" yoongi gets cut off by namjoon leaning over to whisper something into his ear. whatever he said made the older sigh and take back his former statement.

"fine."

"great! thank you, yoonie-" hoseok looks wide eyed at yoongi who just raises an eyebrow at him from his mistake, "i-i mean yoongi! thank you, yoongi-"

"yoonie?" jungkook snickers at the nickname, only laughing more when his boss shoots him a death glare.
