"you are Jungkook's friend right"

Hoseok froze at the place.

- not this shit again -
He thought.



“I was once”
He said looking at the ground.


“Please leave”
Taehyung replied sternly.

“it’s not wha - “

“I don’t wanna talk to you. I’m not interested in a person who loves and flirt with many people.”


“I didn’t love him”
Hoseok replied firmly pressuring the word ‘him’.



“Ok, I don’t wanna talk to you.”
He walked away.

“I’m not, plea – “


“Get lost”
His voice went deeper which scared the other. His face looked even scarier to Hoseok.

Taehyung walked away leaving the other.



Hoseok was stunned to speak. He didn’t expect that snake’s lie would affect him to this extent.
it ruined his friendship, and his reputation, now even affecting his personal life.

Hoseok followed the other calling his name in a low voice. He is about to tear up as the younger ignored him.

Taehyung turned around irritated and was about to yell at the other,


“I said I didn’t wanna talk to “


“Will you please listen to me unlike him?”
His eyes pleading for a chance.

They both glared at each other.

“What do you mean?”

“Can you listen to me? no one did that including Jungkook”
His voice broke down at the last few words.

“please”
He asked another time.

Taehyung thought for a second and looked at the other.

“What you wanna say?”

“Can we talk outside? Or I’ll come another time.”

“wait”
Taehyung said and called another worker to take care and they both went outside.

They went to the terrace and sat on a concrete block (or whatever you call it, I don’t know that name).

“Tell me what you wanted to say.”
Taehyung stared at the other and looked away.

Hoseok nodded,
“I’m glad you are willing to hear.”

He continued,

“First, I didn’t love Jungkook. please don’t say that. he was my friend.”

"what?"

"Yes, he was just my friend but not now, nothing else"


“Then why did you change your agency?”

“it’s all because of a person. She ruined my reputation, so I had to change.”

“Who?”
Taehyung is curious to know.

Hoseok looked at Taehyung who eagerly waited for the answer.

“it’s Aecha.”

“What? she didn’t look like that though”
Taehyung replied with a blank face. He also looked surprised.

“So, I look like a player and she looks innocent to you. “

Taehyung didn’t say anything.

“She loved Jungkook and I tried to warn her but things got messed up. Then I had arguments with Jungkook and changed the label. Also, it ruined our friendship, I mean Jungkook.”

Then Hoseok looked at the other who listened to everything calmly.

“I just wanted to apologize to you.”


“For what?”
Taehyung asked confused.

“I could’ve stopped that happened in front of me but I didn’t and things got worse.
You can ask others if you wanna know the truth. you can’t conclude by hearing from one.

I’m not here to disturb you.
I was just curious to meet and talk but didn’t expect this.”

Taehyung couldn’t believe but also Hoseok didn’t seem like a bad guy.

“You don’t have to be sorry.
So, you didn’t threaten that you’ll hurt me?”
Taehyung asked hesitantly.

Hoseok frowned and laughed seeing the other.

“What was that for?”


“To be honest, I’m even afraid to hurt a bug.
Then, how would I hurt you? see that serious face and biceps. I would never.”
Then he continued to laugh.

Taehyung felt offended.

“Ok, I – I’m sorry for talking like that before.”


“it’s ok, I already forgave you”
Hoseok showed both his palms like he is blessing the other.

Taehyung chuckled and looked at the other who also smiled with him. He realized he failed to know many things.

“but what did you mean by ‘fan’?”

“it’s obvious, I’m your fan and you are my idol.”
Hoseok said with a smile that glowed in the dim gold lighting and looked at the sky.


Taehyung is so confused now. He looked at the ground, his mind clouded with thoughts.

--- can I believe him? He looked like he said the truth but I doubt it now. is he crazy or am I hearing things? I’m not an idol, I know it for sure.

What if he is trying to flirt? Does he have a crush on me? is he gay?
Is he a bad guy? Should I just punch him?

I’m too introverted to ask these things to him, what to do now.  ---


Then his thoughts were interrupted when he felt a pat on his shoulders.

“Taehyung, what happened? did I say anything wrong?”

“of course, how am I an idol to you? I’m not even popular.”

“Your smile is the only thing that I remembered for the longest time. I like it and looks alluring and rare you know.
Uhm, I’m sorry if I’m making you uncomfortable.”

Hoseok said scratching his nape slightly.

Taehyung turned into a rock. It’s been a while hearing a compliment. He tried his best not to get flustered but his cheeks said otherwise. It turned slightly pink but it didn’t show in the dim light much.

“I – It’s okay, I should go to work. So”

“Sorry, you carry on.”

Taehyung nodded and got up.

“Taehyung”

“yes”

“so, you are not mad at me right”

“no, uhmm… it’s nice talking to you Hoseok – “

“hyung, I’m a 94-liner.”

“yeah hyung”

“so what are we now?”
Hoseok asked curiously.

“FRIENDS”
Taehyung said cheerfully and lifted his hand for a handshake.

--- friend? It’s more than that ---
Hoseok pouted slightly and shake his hand.

“ok hyung, see you”

“ do you also work on weekends?”

“no.”

“okay”

With that Taehyung went back to work and Hoseok to home.

---


What are we? FRIENDS. Huh, I don’t like it.

He is not just a friend.

At least I get to talk to him.

He friend zoned me. glad that he didn’t call me bro. It's even worse.

He looked so handsome in person. How could a person be this ethereal?


Hoseok is talking to himself in his room. he couldn’t sleep and started to talk to himself. He kept shifting in bed.
(A\N: I do this when I couldn’t sleep.)


And when he turned to another side, he fell to the ground with a thud. Good thing he wrapped himself into a burrito.

“Aaah.. it hurts”
Hoseok struggled to get up from the tangled blanket and laid down on the bed again.


“just sleep Jung Hoseok. You have work tomorrow”

He closed his eyes and after some struggle, he fell asleep.

"I can't wait to see you again"

---



“How can he compliment that easily? I could never do it.”

Taehyung thought while arranging the books on the shelf.

he wondered why Aecha did that to Hoseok. Is she that bad? he wanted to know but one side of him didn’t want to know.

He shrugged and sat on the desk drowning in the thoughts that make him awake.



But he didn't know Hoseok has a crush on him and gonna annoy the shit out of him.
