Author's POV:

"Huh? A butt?"
Yoongi looked behind a little and seeing Hoseok sitting up, he walked towards the door of the convenience store.
Hoseok becomes more awake and noticed that it was Yoongi who was standing there and coming inside, he abruptly stands up.

The older went to buy a bubble gum and noticed the younger coming towards him.
"Why haven't you gone home yet?"
He asked.
"Sorry, I lost your house keys... By accident." He replied hesitantly.
Yoongi whipped his head back in shock.
"You lost them?"
Seeing him, he started panicking.
"Hold on, I'll change the locks to your house. I'll get you a new set of keys too! I'll handle the whole package! Uhm..."
He seemed to hesitate again.
"What again now?"
"My contract for the previous place I've rented is expiring by the end of this... I... Um... Can I pay you the rent from now on... So can you take me in...?"
He tried to look as pitiful as he could.
"Do you think now is the right time to bring this up? You just lost my house keys." He gave him a look.

"That will be 200 won in total."
Cashier said. When Yoongi paid for it, the younger grabbed it and started unwrapping it and gave one to the former and one he took for himself.
'...This fella... It's true to say that he's a sincere person with no hint of scheming thoughts on his mind, but it's also true that he's difficult to read. So, which one of those is your true character... I can't bring myself to ask that. Why did you two sit together?'
Yoongi thought while chewing the gum and made a small bubble to which Hoseok made even bigger one. Yoongi popped the bubble which stuck on Hoseok's mouth.
"Hey!"
"Eww, it feels so sticky... How dirty."

(The next morning on the way to work)

On their way to work, they happened to pass by a movie theatre and saw a film poster. Yoongi stopped to take a look at it.
"Wanna watch that film? I'll watch it with you." Hoseok said.
"Pay for the tickets."
"Alright, 8pm?"
"Yeah. Fourth row."
"Okay, centre seat in the fourth row."
The younger booked two tickets for the movie and he was also excited as he would get to watch a movie in color for the first time.

Just when they were talking about the film, Soonyoung was passing by behind them and overheard their conversation. Hoseok didn't notice but Yoongi sure noticed him going from behind.

Soonyoung wasn't feeling too good when he entered the building and pressed the button for lift. It came down and revealed Baekhyun and one more guy with him.
"Ah, morning, Soonyoung." He greeted him.
"Good morning."

He introduced him to the man standing beside him.
"They were in charge of the project we did back then. Their boss, Min Yoongi, was the mastermind behind those designs you found creative."
He paused for a second.
"Oh yeah, he hasn't officially met with Yoongi yet. They have an ongoing project for building a shopping complex, so they want to talk to Yoongi and ask for his opinions. Do you know when Yoongi can make time for a discussion?"
He asked Soonyoung.

The conversation he overheard flashed across his mind and without giving it much thought he exclaimed, "Tonight should be fine! I think he's free at night today. I'll make the appointment for you."

(At night, below the studio)

Hoseok stared at the movie poster while remembering the thing that happened in the studio.

....
"Get a refund for the movie tickets, I have to meet up with a client tonight."
Yoongi said while he picked up his jacket.
"Should I come with you?"
"No need, you can go home first. He'll come with me."
He said motioning towards Namjoon.
"We're going soon. Get Soonyoung too."
He said to Namjoon.
"Okay..."
....

Hoseok released a dejected sigh.
'I guess we have to push movie time aside when it comes to work. I've been daydreaming of watching a colored movie...'
With that, he went home.

(Conference Room)

Namjoon, Yoongi, along with Soonyoung were there, meeting up with the client. Soonyoung sat there awkwardly.
"Soonyoung said you're free tonight, so we decided to meet up with you."
This just came of nowhere which made the mentioned boy nervous.
"We should have met up a long time ago. I'm sorry, but things have been rather hectic." Yoongi replied.
"Our president really like your previous designs a lot."
"Thanks for the compliment..."

"... Sorry, I need to use the washroom."
He pardoned himself and went to wash his face while contemplating his decisions.
'Why did they mention that I was the one who organized the meeting time all of a sudden? Yoongi probably wouldn't know I booked the appointment during the time of their movie on purpose.'
He looked in the mirror.
'Soonyoung... How despicable of you. I still have a chance as long as they aren't together yet.'
He wiped his face and proceeded to the door and didn't expect at all to practically bump into Yoongi.
'Yoon... Yoongi?!'
