7 Husband, Who is The Real One | BTS

Chapter 8 - Unease

"Thank you so much!" Y/N and Hoseok chimed in unison as the attendant handed them their tickets.

Y/N studied the ticket, her eyes sparkling. "Does this mean we can play anything we want here, Hobi?"

Hoseok grinned, offering his hand. "That's exactly right. Come on, let's go explore!" Hand in hand, they dashed through the gates of Utopia Amusement Park.

Y/N's gaze roved the bustling park, taking in the sights and sounds. Suddenly, her eyes landed on a towering roller coaster, a thrill of excitement coursing through her. "That one!" she exclaimed, pointing.

Hoseok's smile faltered briefly, but he quickly recovered. "Uh, you sure you want to start with that?" he asked, trying to sound casual.

Y/N nodded enthusiastically, already tugging him towards the queue. "Absolutely! Let's go, Hobi!"

After the thrilling roller coaster ride, I turned to Hoseok, my eyes shining with excitement. "That was amazing! Wasn't it, Hobi?" I exclaimed.

But to my surprise, Hoseok's usual boundless energy had dimmed, and he greeted me with a weary smile. "Yeah, it was great," he replied, his heart not quite in it.

Frowning, I asked, "Hey, are you okay? You seem a bit off."

Hoseok waved a dismissive hand. "Oh, I'm fine. Just probably need a quick break, you know?" He gestured towards a nearby bench. "Wanna grab a seat for a bit?"

I nodded, my concern for him lingering. "Alright, let's take a breather. I'll go get us some water, okay?"

As I made my way to a vendor, I couldn't help but glance back at Hoseok, who seemed to be scanning the crowd with a focused gaze. Something felt off, but I pushed the thought aside and grabbed two cold bottles of water.

On my return, I noticed a group of figures lurking near Hoseok's position. My heart raced, but before I could react, Hoseok had sprung into action, swiftly intercepting them with a series of precise movements. The would-be assailants quickly retreated, their plans foiled.

"Hobi, what was that?" I asked, my voice laced with concern and confusion.

Hoseok turned to me, a rueful smile on his face. "Just a little hiccup, nothing to worry about. Here, let's have a drink and then maybe we can check out the bumper cars, yeah?"

Though hesitant, I accepted the water bottle and followed Hoseok as we continued our adventure through the park. Throughout the day, however, I couldn't shake the feeling that something was weighing on his mind, distracting him from fully enjoying our time together.

As the sun began to set, we made our way back to the mansion, stopping for a quiet dinner along the way. The conversation flowed more naturally now, but I couldn't help but wonder what had caused Hoseok's earlier change in mood and the strange incident at the park.

Upon arriving at the mansion, Hoseok and I parted ways, each heading to our respective rooms. As I made my way to my room, I couldn't stop thinking about the events that had unfolded at the amusement park.

The carefree laughter and excitement we had shared earlier had been overshadowed by Hoseok's sudden change in demeanour. I replayed the scene in my mind, the way his energy had seemed to fade, and the way he had so quickly and skillfully intercepted those mysterious figures.

What had that been all about? And why had it seemed to weigh so heavily on him, even as we tried to continue our day of fun and adventure?

I sighed, unlocking the door to my room and stepping inside. The comfortable surroundings did little to ease the swirl of questions in my mind. I knew I couldn't simply ignore what I had witnessed, but I also didn't want to pry into Hoseok's business without his consent.

Flopping down on the bed, I stared up at the ceiling, biting my lip. I couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to this than met the eye. Perhaps Hoseok was in some kind of trouble, or perhaps there was a deeper reason for his behaviour that I simply didn't understand.

For now, though, I needed to rest and clear my mind. I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to push the worries aside, if only for a little while. Whatever was happening, I would be there for Hoseok, no matter what.
