"YOU WHAT?"
Soojae and Jinyoung were both sat in the dining room of Blackpink's dormitory. The younger girl didn't have a clue as to how she would explain what had happened to her best friend. She didn't want to do it over text, so instead, she'd called the older boy home, demanding that he see her.
Jisoo, Jennie, Chaeyoung and Lisa knew of course. They were the first people she'd told when she'd returned home, cheeks still tinted with pink and red hues.
The girls had been teasing her all evening until Jinyoung arrived, asking things such as "When's the wedding?" or "Whose going to be the 'Maid of Honour'?".
"Jung Hoseok kissed me," Soojae's eyes were wide as she stared dreamily at the microwave in the far corner "And I kissed him back,"
"Oh my God," Jinyoung fanned himself as though he was trying to rid himself of his non-existent blush "Finally! Do you know how long we've waited for this to happen?"
"So long," The younger smiled until the corners of her lips twisted downwards into a frown "Jinnie, what happens now?"
"What d'you mean?"
"I mean, we've been meeting up and we've literally kissed," Soojae swallowed down the fear in her mind "What if he doesn't want to- "
"Whatever you're thinking about," The Park boy interrupted "Isn't going to happen. I'm pretty sure that Hoseok likes you, otherwise he wouldn't have kissed you first,"
"What about YG sajangnim?" Soojae questioned, her doe eyes widening even more "What's he going to think? What if he pulls me out of Blackpink? I can't leave the girls, they're my everything!"
Jinyoung softened at his best friend's panic. In all the years that he'd known her, Soojae wasn't the type to get agitated. Rather, she would always remain calm and collected, a reassuring smile always on her face as though to say "We're gonna be okay,".
"Jae-bear, look at me," He said, gently pulling her into a hug "You and Hobi are going to be fine,"
Soojae allowed her head to rest upon the older boy's shoulder as he lightly patted her back.
She wanted everything to be fine.
She hoped that everything would be fine.
...
The vocalist stared at her phone screen, one particular name lighting up.
Hoseok ᵔᴥᵔ
Taking a deep breath, the dancer answered the call, taking the device to her ear. "Hello?"
"Hey,"
Even just hearing his voice made Soojae feel so giddy. She'd never been in a relationship, her trainee days taking too much time for the thought.
She swallowed. "Hi,"
There was a light chuckle at the other end.
"Are we just going to say 'Hi' to each other or- "
"No," The younger girl said quickly "I-I'm glad that you called,"
From the other side, Hoseok was smirking. "You are?"
"Yes, very glad,"
"I enjoyed today, Jae. Particularly the bit when you said you liked me,"
The dancer shut her eyes, almost groaning at the thought of her sudden confession.
"I understand if you don't feel- "
"If I don't feel the same way? Jae, do you think I would've kissed you first if I didn't have feelings for you?"
Soojae's mouth was wide open as she gaped at the statement.
"Y-you like me? Like, you actually have feelings for me?"
Hoseok was laughing from the other side of the phonecall, and his amusement relaxed her in one way.
"Yes," He whispered "Jae. Soojae. Kim Soojae. I like Kim Soojae,"
"I-I-,"
"I'm guessing Jinyoung knows," Hobi smiled smugly from his end "I think he might've told Jackson, who told Namjoon who told the rest of them. And the girls know too, right?"
"Yeah," Soojae breathed "The girls know, and so does Jinyoung,"
There was a small pause before Soojae asked softly. "Hobi, what are we now?"
"Pardon?"
"What are we?"
Another pause.
"We can be whatever you want us to be, love, but I was thinking of making you mine,"
"As in, girlfriend and boyfriend?" Soojae asked shyly, her mind racing at the thought "As in, holding hands, and getting big bear hugs, and wearing each other's hoodies?"
Hobi was melting in his bed at the girl who was whispering things excitedly into the phone. "All of those, and a few kisses too,"
"So, so does that mean I'm your... girlfriend?"
"Yup. And I'm your boyfriend. My JaeJae,"
His JaeJae. Soojae liked that.
"I'm- I'm going to bed," She mumbled, a huge smile on her face "Goodnight, Hobi,"
"'Night, love,"
Kim Soojae's heart was beating at a rapid pace, and the poor girl wondered how on Earth she was going to sleep that night.
