Jamais Vu

Chapter 16

Hoseok was humming happily as he was getting ready for the day. He combed his hair and checked his appearance on the mirror for the last time before turning to his bed for the last check. It was already neatly made, right after he woke up, before he went to clean himself. Jimin was already up, probably grooming himself in the bathroom. It was 9 a.m. and he had more than enough time for breakfast before the company car arrived.

He sent a message to Sunhee as he strolled cheerfully to the kitchen, continuing on with his tuneless hum. It's official, she's his girlfriend now and he couldn't be happier. Going out and see her last night was the right decision. Even after he went home, he was engulfed with the joy of having meeting her. The baking, the kissing on the baking table, he loved all of it. Jin and Namjoon was already at the kitchen island, enjoying their milk and cereal.

"Good morning everyone!" Hoseok greeted as he went to the fridge and popped the cinnamon roll inside the microwave. He kept the bread straight away in the freezer when he got home, just as Sunhee advised. He told her last night the roll was a bit too sweet but at that moment, he craved for it.

He missed her already.

"You're awfully happy this morning," commented Jin as he ate a spoonful of cereal.

The aroma of cinnamon then wafted in the kitchen.

"That smells so good," Jin looked at Hoseok.

"Of course, it is and it's all mine," Hoseok made iced americano as he waited for the cinnamon roll to be ready.

"You sound awfully possessive of that bread. I don't have to ask where that comes from, huh?" said Jin and Hoseok continued on humming.

"Anything great happened, Hope?" Namjoon was scrolling his phone as he asked Hoseok. He was looking at the day's schedule, knowing it is going to be full before they were going to fly out that night. They were going to attend the Billboard Music Award in few days. They had to do another rehearsal and go through a lot of preparations for that. Their personal luggage was not even completely packed.

"Something great," replied Hoseok as he put the hot roll on his plate and sat down. He ate a bite and his phone buzzed, alerting an incoming message. He picked up his phone and read the message. His smile grew wider as he replied to the sender promptly. He was then rapidly typing at his phone as the message went back and forth.

Taehyung, the second youngest went to the kitchen and joined in the breakfast table. He took the bread and a jar of Nutella and sat opposite of Hoseok. "Hope hyung, you look like someone in love," commented Taehyung as he looked at Hoseok with interest.

"I am," replied Hoseok in his singsong voice.

Jin rolled his eyes to Hoseok's answer. "He's lovesick."

That certainly made Namjoon look away from his phone as he looked as his friend intently. He could almost see Hoseok glowing right on his seat. "Did I miss something?" asked Namjoon to Jin. Just then, Jimin trudged from his room with Yoongi in front of him. Jimin sat straight away on one of the stools, with his head on the table, closing his eyes. He was still sleepy and tired from yesterday's work that he didn't intend to eat.

Yoongi went to the cabinet straight away to make his morning coffee. "I'm guessing that our friend here got himself a girlfriend," he joked.

"Wait. With who?" asked Namjoon. "All he talks about lately was about his new business venture."

"My guess would be his new partner. That cinnamon roll is a dead giveaway," Taehyung ate his sandwich as he talked.

"Hold on. They're now a couple?" asked Namjoon again.
