(A/N: Please keep in mind that South Korea is about 20-25 years behind the west in terms of acceptance. Homosexuality is heavily frowned upon to this day, and gay marriage is still illegal there.)

Author's POV:

"Hey Hoseok," Sena says, stepping into the hospital room with Ji-Ho behind her. "Can I talk to you?"

Hoseok freezes, unsure how to take the expressionless look on her face. Seokjin gets off your bed and moves to step between him and Sena.

"Can I ask what this is about?" Jin asks cautiously.

"The elephant in the room?" Sena says, looking at Seokjin like he's an idiot. "The fact that he kissed my brother?"

"Is that a problem?" Jungkook asks, standing up as well but remaining at your bedside.

Sena's narrowed eyes flicker back to the nervous Hoseok. "Are you dating my brother?"

"N-no, we aren't dating," he stutters.

"Then why did you kiss him?" she asks, becoming irritated with Hoseok's inability to speak.

He stays looking down at his lap and says, "To calm him down."

Sena furrows her brows in confusion, clearly not going to get any answers without being direct.

"Is Dal gay?"

"It's not really my place, you should ask h-"

"Just answer me," she grits through her teeth, balling her hands into fists. "Is Dal a homosexual? Or did you just do that without consent?"

Hoseok's eyes angrily meet hers. "Are you insinuating that I would try to take advantage of someone because I'm gay?"

"No, I'm asking you if you kissed him without knowing he'd be okay with it."

"Sena," Seokjin says with a bit more of a warning in his tone. "He would've been okay with it."

"How do you know?" she scoffs, glaring into his eyes. "I've had to protect Dal my entire life and I'm not about to stop now because your feelings are hurt."

"Are you really not able to put the pieces together?" Jungkook asks her, fury dripping from his tongue. "Or are you in denial?"

"Jungkook," Hobi grits through his teeth.

"Sorry but I'm not about to let her call you a predator when she's the only one not smart enough to read the room."

Sena's jaw slacks and her furious doe eyes stare into JK's equally furious doe eyes. Jungkook was one of the first people Hoseok came out to, and he's very protective of him because of it.

"Sen," Ji-Ho says from behind her, placing his hand on her shoulder. "I don't think you realize how you're coming across to them."

"How the fuck am I coming across?" she hisses. "I've hardly said anything."

"It sounds like you're against homosexuality."

"What?!" she exclaims, looking around at the rest of the room. "Hoseok I don't give a damn if you're gay."

"But you do if Dal is," he continues to glare, making Sena stiffen. She avoids his eyes and looks out the window, trying to collect herself. "How're you okay with me being gay and not your brother?"

"Because I don't have to protect you," she grits through her teeth. "Dal's circumstances are entirely different from yours."

"What does that even mean?" Jungkook scoffs. "You're hiding your homophobia behind excuses."
