Both Yoongi and JungKook were surprised as their jaws dropped when they see HoSeok's name on the paper that NamJoon wrote.
NamJoon cleared his throat and said, "That is my secret too and that is the truth.".
"Wait.. HoSeok? What does he mean?", Yoongi got confused while he ask HoSeok about it.
"I thought it would be my name.. to be honest.", JungKook said as he was still surprised.
HoSeok didn't say anything but his eyes was on NamJoon.
"Very surprising. Well, Jung HoSeok has two votes now. What about the man himself? Who did you vote for?".
HoSeok sighed as he looks down on the paper before looking at everyone who was still confused after what NamJoon said.

"You remembered the first time we met after a year of not seeing each other?", HoSeok asked all of a sudden and NamJoon nods right away.
"3rd January 2021...At 11pm.. Seoul's Train Station.", NamJoon said it right away.
- flashback -
HoSeok left the house after another fight with Yoongi as he was too hurt with what he said. He walked through the pathway as he cried to himself and soon, he arrived at Seoul's Train Station.
He came to the station and saw someone familiar sitting on the bench, in tears. HoSeok came closer and finally got to see who it was.
"NamJoon?", HoSeok said and NamJoon looks up to see who called his name before he got surprised to see HoSeok infront of him.
"HoSeok? What are you doing here at the train station? It's late.", NamJoon said while he wipes his own tears away.
HoSeok sighed before he also wiped his tears away and smiled weakly at NamJoon.
"I fought with Yoongi.. I just needed to be alone.", HoSeok said and NamJoon nods his head while HoSeok asked the same question.
NamJoon had a small smile on his face and said, "I saw something that JungKook was trying to hide from me.".
Both of them sat on the bench as they were thinking of what their partners have done.
"I don't know how long I can take this pain, NamJoon. All I ask is love and happiness.. but Yoongi was so much different.", HoSeok said and NamJoon understood how he felt as he nods his head.
"I've been trying multiple times to fix the relationship that me and JungKook are struggling with but it's no point. I wasn't happy.. JungKook wasn't either.", NamJoon said.
"I'm glad that you are here though, NamJoon. Atleast I won't have to cry or rant by myself..", HoSeok jokes around to calm the situation.
"You don't have to feel alone anymore, HoSeok. You have me to rant and cry to. I'll be here if you need me.", NamJoon said with his eyes looking at HoSeok until HoSeok lays his head on NamJoon's shoulder.
"It's weird. How did we not talk like this back then?", HoSeok said and NamJoon laughs a little.
"Neither both of us knew that we would be going through a difficult relationship. Maybe that is why we didn't talk much.", NamJoon said and HoSeok nods his head.
Soon, they looked at the time and knew that they had to head home before their partners starts looking for them.
"How about a late night coffee?", NamJoon asked and HoSeok nods as they went to grab coffee to relieve themselves.
- end of flashback -
"We've gotten close after that night. We met at the cafes and talk about our struggles in the relationship without knowing that we actually had many things in common.", NamJoon shared as he remembered everything.
Yoongi was still surprised that he asked NamJoon questions. "Wait, so you knew then? About TaeHyung...", he asked.
NamJoon shook his head and said, "HoSeok felt really guilty towards you, Yoongi. He took those unnecessary pills and I had to stop him. That's where I took him on a road trip to find himself again.".
JungKook gets involved in the conversation and said, "Is that why you told me you were busy with work that you couldn't come home?".
NamJoon nods and apologized while he explained about it.
"If I didn't stop HoSeok, he wouldn't be standing here. Infront of all of us. Yoongi, I had no intentions to steal him or cheat but he was dying inside. I did all of that because I really cared about him. I love HoSeok too.", NamJoon said firmly and Yoongi sighed as HoSeok listens to NamJoon's words.
JungKook nods his head and smiled at NamJoon. "You really do love him.. And yet, you could still be with me even when you're in love with someone else?".
NamJoon laughs a little and said, "What could've I done?".
Then, everyone was waiting for HoSeok to speak as he was still holding onto his paper tightly.
"HoSeok? You alright?", Yoongi asked and NamJoon was starting to feel bad when he sees HoSeok's reaction was.
"It's down to you Jung HoSeok. Who did you vote for?".
HoSeok nods his head as he unfolds his paper slowly while he thinks of what he was going to say.
"Yoongi, I wished nothing but happiness for you. I really tried to accept your anger but it was too much for me to handle. Even NamJoon has been helping out with it, but it wasn't working out well.", HoSeok said and he turned to JungKook.
"JungKook ah, I would've lost someone important to me if you went on with the murder plan of yours. I'll be honest, anyone would be lucky to have NamJoon because he would do anything for you.. to make you the happiest person on Earth. And he did... he showed me what he could do and I was amazed with it.", HoSeok said as he tries to fight back the tears.
He looks at NamJoon and said, "NamJoon turned my life around.. He saved me countless of times. I can't express how thankful I am for what he did for me.".
HoSeok turns the paper around and everyone sees the name he wrote especially NamJoon.
"Why did I write his name?", HoSeok asked and NamJoon smiled while Yoongi was feeling sad a little.
