Jin Hyung:

-

Seokjin's frantic text reaction to the news was followed by an immediate call. Hoseok blinked at how quickly he'd reacted; Hoseok had told him a mere minute ago, yet here Seokjin was, absolutely losing his mind.

He picked up the video call to see Seokjin with a disbelieving smile on his face.

"NO WAY!" Seokjin practically yelled.

Hoseok winced, turning down the volume as he plugged in his headphones. "Hyung, please—"

"Oh my god, I need all the details, right now. When did this happen? Why am I only hearing about it now? Did you kiss yet? Oh, my god, hAS HE WRITTEN A LOVE SONG FOR YOU OR SOMETHING HOLY SHIT I—"

"Stop yelling," Hoseok hissed. "My ears are going to burst, Seokjin."

"Sorry, sorry." Seokjin lowered his tone. "You can't tell me you're dating out of the blue and expect me not to lose my shit. I assume I'm the only one who knows?"

"Er. . . You're sort of the last one to know."

"What?" Seokjin's voice returned to its previous volume. "I'm that last one to. . . Just give me details, Hobi, before I yell at you for not letting me know sooner."

It was true that the whole school had figured out. Hoseok and Taehyung had told the others two days ago, but it seemed that someone must have overheard, because the news spread like wildfire throughout the school: Kim Taehyung was dating somebody! Actually dating somebody!

Hoseok was getting pestered a bit by some of his peers. He'd hear things like You're dating Taehyung? Like, actually dating him? No way! How'd you do it?

Someone once asked Hoseok if Taehyung was dared to date him. Unfortunately for them, Taehyung was around to hear it, and they'd earned themselves a glare and bad rep with the most popular boy in school. They'd never live that down for the rest of their highschool career.

As Hoseok retold the story for Seokjin, Seokjin was practically squealing the entire time. He looked like his two favorite characters in a TV show had finally gotten together.

"Dude, I cannot believe this." Seokjin set his phone up on a table and started brushing his hair. Hoseok figured he was going somewhere important. "Hey, y'know what," he said, "I gotta visit again!"

"Again? But—"

"No buts!" Seokjin paused and grinned. "Haha. Butts."

"Jin."

"Sorry. But seriously, I'm going to arrange a date to show up at SSOA. I need to see this for myself."

Hoseok huffed. "Don't cause any trouble."

"Everyone at that school loves me, Hobi! I could cause trouble and they'd turn a blind eye to it!" Seokjin stopped brushing his hair and winked at Hoseok through the camera. "I'll keep the trouble to a minimum, alright?"

It was hard to get Seokjin to calm down once he got excited, so Hoseok simply said, "Alright."

-🎨-

"So," Taehyung whispered quietly. "Did you ever find out what was wrong with Jeongguk?"

Hoseok glanced at Mrs. Choi, who was on the other side of the room. Light music played from the speakers in the room as the students painted, working on their projects.
