Bottled // SOPE

25. Old behaviour

If Hoseok thought that now his life would be peaceful, he was so wrong.

After leaving his house, his parents called him everyday and he would always ignore them until they would send people to talk to him to get him to answer them. Just so they could have dinner together.

And after a month he finally decided to give them a go, even after all the things they did to him. He knew he didn't have to accept but he needed to talk to them.

The plan was that maybe he would pretend to forgive them just to get some money from them and more but not get attached to them mentally.

But with Yoongi on the other hand.. It's been a month since they slept together and they were distant. Not because of Yoongi but more on Hoseok's side. He was always in thoughts and these things with his parents made him so angry and made him overwork himself.

He would always stay two or three hours at the theater making Yoongi wait for him. The older didn't mind, he was just worried but Hoseok would never say what was happening and what he was feeling. He started to keep it all to himself again.

And Ari. Because Hoseok wasn't there to save Yoongi from her, he would spend two or three hours as well with her. Not because he wanted to but because he knew he couldn't say no to the girl.

For some reason, one day her parents came to the theater and met Yoongi because they wanted to get to know him since he was teaching her piano and also because he was a Korean student and Ari felt more welcomed.

They also invited him to dinner but Yoongi had to refuse politely. He had a boyfriend so going to dinner with a girl and her parents that he met a month ago didn't sit well with him and also it would've been too awkward. But mostly the first part.

As Yoongi was trying to get rid of Ari it felt like all she did was on purpose. Yoongi would go to music stores, buy music dvd's and vinyls, walk around the theater to do work and for some weird reason, Ari was always there? Yeah...

It wouldn't bother him that much but she was rather insisting. And he knew he couldn't say mean things to her like he would because her parents might find out and then he would be erased from the face of the globe.

Literally...

As much as Yoongi prayed for his boyfriend to come see him, he never did. He would walk to his classroom just to talk to him and they would have a small talk, Hoseok not really opening up. Yoongi could see there was something wrong but he couldn't just make him tell him.

He would always tell him "You know I'm here for you"

"You can tell me anything"

"Is there something bothering you?"

Yoongi was scared that maybe Hoseok lost feelings for him. Just like that maybe he met someone better? These thoughts made him go crazy.

If Yoongi would ask him to also talk about his day he would get defensive "I always talk so much. Why wouldn't you?"

Was Yoongi in the wrong? But if he would tell him everything in detail he would always look so uninterested or rather not there. What should Yoongi do? He had no idea.

If he talked to him? He would not listen.

If he ignored him? That would get them to not communicate.

Break up? Yoongi couldn't do that.

Yoongi saw Hoseok as his moon in the full dark sky. Hoseok was his sun, the one that would light all his days. The rainbow after a rainy day. He couldn't, he can't, it would hurt too much...

He was so sure that he fell in love with the younger but he had no courage to actually say it or the opportunity. It was crazy, he felt stupid.

He never felt like this for someone, why feel it now? But Yoongi knew, he knew he had to wait. Hoseok would come to him...

Right?

"I think that's enough for today" Yoongi says and Ari looks at him with wide eyes "Why? We still have 2 more hours" She says frowning "I don't feel so well today." Yoongi says going to his bag and putting some papers in it "Ah I see. Then take care of yourself, ok?" She says getting up and also grabbing her bag "Yeah" Yoongi says and Ari leaves the room after waving.

He wasn't sick, well maybe love sick. Yoongi grabbed his bags, closed the door and headed up the stairs to Hoseok's room. He knocked and entered as he saw Hoseok with Jimin and Jungkook who were talking. "Hi" Yoongi said waving and they all greeted him.

"I think we are good for today" Jimin says and Hoseok's eyes wide "No, we still need to practice one more time" Hoseok says and Jungkook dramatically falls to the ground as Yoongi sits down "Hyung, we've been practicing the same thing for 4 hours. I think it's enough" Jungkook says and Hoseok nods helping him get on his feet again.

"I'll see you guys tomorrow then" Hoseok says and the two leave and wave happily they finally finished, leaving the two together. "So, how was your day?" Yoongi started and Hoseok looked at him and didn't respond "Hobi, baby, are you okay? You can talk to me" Yoongi says and Hoseok looks down.

"My day was good. Yours?"

"You know that's not the answer I want" Yoongi says and Hoseok taps his shoe to the ground "Seriously, nothing really happened" Hoseok says playing with his fingers as Yoongi gets up.

"Why are you not responding to me like you used to? Did you get tired of me or something? You can just say it."

"I'm- You are being so selfish." Hoseok says raising his head to look at Yoongi "You tell me that you can't help me with my family business because you can't tell me what to do. But when I'm struggling to know what to do next you expect me to be as happy as before?"

"I never told you not to talk to me about this, Hoseok. I told you I can't tell you what to do not that I don't want to hear you talk about your parents."

"I've been hearing you talk about them for as long as we've known each other and now you are accusing me of not wanting to hear you talk about them when you know that that's what I've been doing this whole time" Yoongi raised his voice, this conversation really pissed him off. "Are you really going back to bottling your emotions when you know damn well I'm here to talk to you and you just refuse it. And overwork yourself for what? Just to replay the day we met?"

"We are at the theater, might as well replay the day we meet huh?" Yoongi says and Hoseok tears up. The older's face softens, he hates to see him cry. "Hobi no, don't cry. I'm sorry" Yoongi says, wiping his tears and kissing his forehead.

"I'm sorry I didn't- I didn't mean to not talk to you and act this way" Hoseok says and Yoongi hugs him. "It's ok, really" Yoongi says and then he remembers what he wanted to say to Hoseok. "It's fine Hobi, I'm not mad at you" Yoongi says holding him tightly.

Hoseok started to cry harder. Thinking about what he felt for Yoongi. He found him the one that pulled him from such a dark place. His saviour, his superhero. The reason why now he was finally leaving his teenage life. He was so grateful that they had met.

"Let's sit down and talk."
