Fate Often Mistook [A V-Hope Fanfic]

“Truth or dare?”

Other six pairs of eyes immediately aimed their sights at Jung Hoseok, waiting for an answer that he has to say. Hoseok squinted and bit his lip; pretending to think hard while everyone was waiting.

There was a quite long moment of silence before Hoseok finally screamed his final decision, “Dare!!!” and everyone yelled happily.

“Confess her!!!” Jeon Jungkook, the boy with hoodie, yelled.

“No, no! Pretend as you are going to propose her for marriage!” Park Jimin, the boy with eyesmile, laughed and clapped his hands.

“Tell her the best parts from her!” Kim Namjoon, the boy with eyeglasses, laughed and adjusted his eyeglasses.

“Sing! Sing for her!” Min Yoongi, the guy with a wide smile, chuckled and elbowed Hoseok’s ribs.

“No, no. Kiss her,” Kim Seokjin just folded his arms, pointed at a group of girls with his chin, and the biggest cheer happened.

Well, not actually a group of girls he pointed at. Seokjin just specifically pointed at one girl, and everyone obviously knew who that was. She was the girl who now awkwardly stared at the boy and she was the one who tried not to hear all those cheers.

“Kiss her! Kiss her! Kiss her!” the group of those seven boys started to chant, and Hoseok just shyly rubbed his nape. He started standing up and walked towards the girls on the other side of the class.

Uh, wait. Seven boys?

Let me count again. Hoseok, Jungkook, Jimin, Namjoon, Yoongi, Seokjin... Wait, I missed one guy!

Ah, I forgot Kim Taehyung! On the group of the boys, he was the one who sat the furthest from the circle they made. He was the one whose eyes were really dark, maybe eyeliner made them like that. While everyone was chanting crazily, that boy named Taehyung just sat down and locked his gaze at Hoseok. He didn’t even say a thing while the others were giving Hoseok challenges.

“Guys, I do love giving kisses but we haven’t got married yet!” Hoseok from the other side of the class looked at the boys and chuckled shyly. The girl named Jihye stood up and looked at the boys, and then she looked at Hoseok.

“What are you doing? Go kiss!!!” the boys started to stand up to see them clearer; some of them had been approaching Hoseok to see the action clearer. The other girls just looked at Jihye and Hoseok with small giggles.

“Jihye, I-“ Hoseok was about to speak when Jihye suddenly pulled him closer, so close that Hoseok could see her face clearly.

Both of them stayed the same for a moment, and the atmosphere turned quiet. Everyone tried to look at them, and the boys had crowded beside them.

Jihye slowly opened her mouth. A small mutter came out from her lips…

“I thought you were gay.”

The happy and lovely chant slowly turned to a small laughter, and then the laughter turned bigger. Hoseok’s feet turned limp, he stared in disbelief while Jihye just sat back with the girls, following the laughter she had made.

“You shot right in the part, Jihye!” Yoonjin, one of the girls, high-fived Jihye and laughed with her.

“You are just too gay to be with her,” Jaerim, one of the girls, chuckled and swayed her index finger to gesture a ‘no’.

“I- I’m not!” Hoseok yelled and shook his head, while his face had turned slightly red. The girls laughed and Jihye pointed at Taehyung who was left sitting alone at the other side of the class. “Your crush!”
