There's no way Hoseok's an angel.

Right?

Yoongi finally heard panicked breathing that wasn't coming from his phone and hung up the call, standing infront of Hoseok with his hand on his hip. "Why did you leave the room?"

"Yoongi!" Hoseok immediately hugged him tight, smushing his cheek against his chest. "They're so scary! I don't wanna be mean but they're so scary and I don't think they like me and they followed me an-"

Yoongi picked Hoseok up so his butt was resting on Yoongi's forearm and began walking back to the room. "Who followed you?"

Hoseok abruptly stopped speaking as embarrassment washed over him. He was being carried away from something frightening like a damn child! "H-Hey, put me down."

Yoongi scoffed, "What? So you can get lost again? I don't think so."

He realized his front was pressed against Yoongis torso a little and it really made him nervous. "I'm serious, put me down."

"Here," Yoongi adjusted and then threw Hoseok over his shoulder so his butt was right next to his head, paying no mind when Hoseok yelled. "Is this better?" He kept walking with ease as if Hoseok wasn't thrashing over his shoulder.

"Stop it! Put me down!" Yoongi responded with a light smack to Hoseok's butt that shut him right up. Hoseok's face went bright red and he struggled to come up with a response for a little bit. When he finally did come up with something, Yoongi had been walking in silence for some time and they'd arrived at the room. "That's enough, you can put me down now." Yoongi opened the door and closed it behind them, walking over to the bed and promptly tossing Hoseok onto it as lightly as he could. "What the hell?"

Yoongi smirked at the choice of words, "What?" His feigned innocence always made things more entertaining for him, it was like mocking the person he was talking to and it was so much fun.

Hoseok sat up, "Why did you do that?" He scowled and crossed his arms.

Yoongi laid down on the bed next to him and rest his head on his hands. "Do what? Carry you back here?" Hoseok nodded. "So you wouldn't get lost. Clearly, that's gonna be an issue for you down here."

Hoseok was baffled, "What do you mean?!"

Yoongi sighed, "If you hadn't left the room while I was taking a piss, you wouldn't have gotten lost, darling."

Hoseok turned and looked down at Yoongi's very relaxed and amused form. "What are you talking about? I didn't run off, the lady with the baskets threw me out here." He quietly negated the accusation, he wasn't a nosey person at all. He had no desire to sneak off and look around without anyone else's knowledge. Hoseok was almost invisible sometimes and people would air their business out to each other right infront of them because they simply assumed he wouldn't care. He has no need for being nosey and it wasn't going to start now, either. "She came in and saw me here and dragged me out. She threw me to the ground and then dumped some stuff out of the basket in the corner but she noticed I was trying to get back in and dragged me all the way to the end of some hall. I didn't leave."

Yoongi nodded, "And you just didn't fight back?" Shamefully, Hoseok shook his head. It honestly disappointed Yoongi a bit. Even in a situation with tension rising right before his eyes, Hoseok preferred to take it as it came and let it all happen. Yoongi reached up and cupped Hoseok's cheek, caressing it with his thumb. "You've gotta stand up for yourself, Hoseok. That's the only way you'll get through around here." Hoseok nodded, knowing he probably wouldn't listen to that advice because he was too afraid. Yoongi stood up and held Hoseok's hand to help him up as well. "Come on."
