Jung Hoseok, who was born unable to see any color, had been living in a black and white world for many years. Until the day he met Min Yoongi, who was being chased, he accidentally discovered that he had brilliant colours.
What kind of sparks would...
"You can hold on to the hand warmer when your stomach hurts, it should help a bit... I'll lay the carpet beneath the sofa, so you won't feel cold even when you're bare-footed." Hoseok said while rummaging through his bag. Yoongi was sitting on his couch hugging his knees and staring at Hoseok. 'Although he was talking quite a lot ever since he got in here, his presence added a hint of warmth too. What a peculiar fella...' "What's wrong? Why are you staring at me like that..." He asked turning his head back. 'So vigilant! Does he have eyes on his back?!' Yoongi sat upright. "No... Nothing... The meal cooked by you is not bad..." "I once worked as a chef..." Hoseok said. "A chef?! Then how did you end up as a janitor?" Yoongi was dumbfounded. "Well... I want a more challenging job..."
(He lied. The truth was, he faced problems because he was colour blind. . "Hoseok! How many times have I told you to arrange the condiments according to the colours! Do you wanna loose your job?!" "What the hell is this dish! Didn't I tell you not to use chilli oil? Look at it yourself, is it even edible?!" . This way, he lost his job.)
"Huh? Uhm... I should apologize to you then... Sorry for getting you fired from your challenging job..." Yoongi said. "No it's okay, it's not your fault. You don't have to take that to heart! I was planning to quit even without your case!" Hoseok tried to comfort the older. 'Huh?? How did it end up with you comforting me instead?'"So what's your plan for the future?" Yoongi asked. "We'll think of something when the time comes!" He got up and sat beside Yoongi. "Who knows if lady luck would be waiting for me just around the corner? I did bump into you after all!" He continued. 'Luck, huh... He sure is positive! How could you be so optimistic?' "What luck? You think life is like a lottery?!" "You know what?! I really did win the lottery once~" "Huh? How much?" "50!" Hoseok whispered in Yoongi's ear. Yoongi burst out laughing. "Hahaha! Only 50? Why are you being so mysterious about it~" Hoseok was stunned by the sight in front of him. He never saw Yoongi smile before. "I thought you won 50 million!" The older said smiling and continued laughing. 'After knowing him for so long... This is the first time I've seen him smile like that...'
(The next morning, downstairs)
Both of them were walking peacefully. Then they heard sound of clicking and a group of reporters appeared out of nowhere.
"It's Min Yoongi and his rumoured partener!" "We've been here since dawn. We finally got them!" "We were right to take your advice!" "It's the real breaking news this time..." "Min Yoongi! There were rumours about you coming out previously. Can you clarify on your relationship with this guy over here?"
Yoongi froze there. 'Reporters... Were they stalking me all this time? They're making up things again... What are they going to say this time?! I wanna get away from here... But I couldn't move an inch, damn... Don't come any closer! No pictures, no questions, don't even look at me!!!' "Don't be afraid." Hoseok stepped in front. "I'm his assistant, you can talk to me instead!"
"Isn't he the one from the airport..." "Yeah! That's actually him..." The reporters talked among themselves.
"Sir, I remember you were wearing the janitor's uniform at the airport, right? How did you become an assistant in just a few days' time? What's your relationship with Mr. Min besides being colleagues?" He asked showing the picture of him and Yoongi in the restroom. "According to this picture, can we interpret your relationship as lovers?" Hoseok was glaring at him while Yoongi was looking very shocked as if he saw a ghost. The reporter smirked. "Did we get it right? Mr. Min, the look on your face is quite interesting~ Seo-jun, get a shot." "Enough." He caught the camera in his hand to prevent the reporter from taking a picture. "No more rumours like this, otherwise, don't blame us for taking any extreme measures." He said with a scary expression. "Everyone! Mr. Min and I are just ordinary colleagues, and I'm only a temporary assistant. So please report the facts as it is! Please do not disturb Mr. Min's personal life." He announced. "Let's go, don't look back." He took Yoongi to a secluded place.
"They won't follow us here. Are you okay?" He asked the older. Yoongi looked at him and turned his head at the side. "We confronted them just like that. I don't know what kind of reporters will come out tomorrow." Hoseok slammed his hand on the wall behind Yoongi, pinning him there which startled him and made him look at him. "I don't care! Who cares about what they say?! I don't!" 'He doesn't care...?' He looked down. He took his hand back and took a step back. Yoongi turned his back to him. "We just need to clarify everything! Things will only be more suspicious if we try to hide the facts! Even if I wasn't your assistant, they would still make things up, right?! The most important thing is that we do our part to the fullest!" He grabbed Yoongi's shoulder and turned him around making him face him and placed his other hand on his other shoulder. "Yoongi! Believe me! Running away is not the only solution!"
