The next morning, when they’re all gathering in the kitchen for breakfast, Hoseok expects Yoongi to be all excited and happy like he was last night, all that stress gone. At least for a while. The effects of yesterday’s trip should keep him in a good mood.
Instead, Yoongi comes out of his room looking… not stressed, but kind of sad. Taehyung asks him if he’s okay, and Yoongi says that he is, his smile coming off kind of fake. That’s when Hoseok realizes that it’s not actually sadness on Yoongi's face, it’s disappointment.
And something in Hoseok’s gut tells him that he and Kira were right last night – it did not have the effect Yoongi wanted after all.
It’s unexpectedly distressing, knowing that Yoongi tried doing what he wanted with that dildo and didn’t get what he was hoping to. The image of it is very clear in Hoseok’s mind. Yoongi in his room, on his knees by his bed, holding the dildo in his hand and excitedly leaning in, taking the tip of it in his mouth, holding it there and not having anyone to brush his fingers through his hair.
It probably felt good for a while in the beginning, considering how excited Yoongi was to do it. The disappointment over it not feeling right must have been all the worst because of that. Cold silicone. Unresponsive to Yoongi. No one could submit to that.
Throughout the day, Hoseok keeps an eye on Yoongi. Yoongi gets himself together enough, does what needs to be done, but Hoseok can see that disappointment still there. Yoongi’s smiles don’t hold for as long as they should.
So, at the end of the day, at home, when Hoseok walks out into the kitchen and sees Yoongi in the living room on one of the couches, holding his phone in his hand but not looking at it, just staring off into space instead, Hoseok can’t help himself. He sits down on the couch next to Yoongi, startling him, and starts talking, not having a plan, simply aiming to provide some comfort. He hates seeing Yoongi sad. Or any of the members upset.
"You are in the bad mood." He say, now Yoongi's full attention on Hoseok.
"No. I'm perfectly fine." Yoongi protests, sounding entirely unconvinced.
Hoseok leans back, looking up,takes a deep breath. "Wasn't everything you were hoping it would be?"
Yoongi looks at him doesn't say anything for a moment than rolls his eyes. "Fuck of Hoseok..."
Maybe Hoseok shouldn't have been this direct with him, maybe he shouldn't have brought up the whole thing at all, maybe he is wrong, maybe Yoongi's bad mood has nothing to do with that dildo. He knows Yoongi doesn’t like discussing this. But it's bothering Hoseok. The whole this is bothering him.
He’s too protective of Yoongi. All six of them are, really. But something about knowing this about Yoongi, knowing his desire to do that specific thing, to submit to someone like that… it just makes Hoseok more protective, his… instincts flaring up seeing a submissive in distress, especially one that he cares about so much. Makes him want to help.
Eventually, Yoongi sighs and sinks back into the couch too.
"No, it wasn’t, the fuck." he tells Hoseok. "You..you didn't say anything about this to anyone right?" He asked, feeling embarrassed all of sudden.
Hoseok looked at him confused.Is it why, Yoongi kept looking at him yesterday? Is he embarrassed about his fantasies?
He shook his head. "Why would even I tell that to anyone it's–"
