006 - Hoseok

"Ah, I'm sorry! I wasn't watching where I was going!" Hoseok burst with apology, inwardly chasting himself when he heard his satoori coming through.

"It's alright. I was zoning out anyway. I'm also at fault." The girl finished her sentence in Japanese. Hoseok stared at her for a bit before scrambling to collect the groceries that he'd made her spill. Yoona rushed forward and began to help as well.

"Aish, Hana. You really should be more careful." She whined as she bent to grab a can of dried tomatoes that was trying to escape.

"You know her?" Yoongi and Hoseok asked incdredulously. Both girls looked up and Hoseok found himself entranced with the large emeralds that this new girl had for eyes.

"Yep. This is Hana. I live with her and her parents. It's because of Hana's family's kindness that I was able to move to Seoul from Daegu." Yoona explained, tilting her head. Hana and Hoseok seemed to be having some strange staring contest. Hana blinked.

"Sorry if this seems rude, but you look a lot like a member from a popular group that I've been listening to." She started, squinting slightly at him.

"Really? Who?" Hoseok asked, slightly embarrassed, but kind of humoured. She paused, looking almost embarrassed before blurting out,

"J-Hope from this group called BTS. He's a rapper and a really great dancer." All three of the others stared with wide eyes at her. Yoona let out a loud snort as she indicated to Yoongi.

"Hana, this is my old friend Yoongi. Most people know him as Suga, a rapper from this group called BTS." She laughed the last word out as Hana's eyes began to enlargen. She was starting to make connections. Entertained, Yoona continued.

"This is his friend and fellow member, Hoseok, but to most people, he's J-Hope of the same group, BTS." She finished her statement chuckling hard, clutching the bag of groceries she'd picked up with force as she struggled not to tumble with laughter at Hana's expression.

Hana herself looked as though she was going to faint with humiliation. Her mouth hung open a little and her pupils shook as she glanced between Yoona and Hoseok, who was also holding one of the grocery bags. She hurried to take it back, but he hopped away.

"I was the one that bumped into you. The least I can do is help you carry them." He reasoned when she tried to take them again. Hana swallowed and nodded her consent.

"So, we're taking these two home with us?" Yoona queried. Hana gulped shallowly and nodded again. As they continued walking, Hoseok felt his phone vibrate.

"Ah, Yoongi hyung! We left Namjoonie and TaeTae at the cafe!" He gasped, feeling guilty at having forgotten. Yoongi's eyes widened.

"That's right. Tell them we'll be back in twenty minutes or something. We'll meet them at the comic book store." Hoseok nodded and texted back the reply quickly.

After reaching the street where the girls lived, which wasn't too far away, Hana took the groceries from Hoseok gratefully.

"Ah, Flour. We have to hang out soon."
Yoona whined. The two rappers looked at each other.

"Flour? She calls you Flour?" Hoseok choked out, trying to suppress the laughter coming from his throat.

"Well, on Friday night, we're having a movie night. You could always come then." Yoongi stated, ignoring the younger rapper's previous remark.Yoona clapped her hands delightedly.

"Perfect! Ah, would Hana be allowed too? Her parents don't like us going anywhere for the first time on our own."

"That's fine, but I think that's it. Not sure the boys can handle more than two women at a time." Hoseok added, grinning. The girls exchanged numbers with Yoongi, who promised to message the girls details of the night.
