Hoseok admitted one thing: her thoughts were a distraction,  the ones that could cost him. But he was still willing to keep them. And the moments when thoughts became a reality,  he wouldn't believe his eyes.

Hosoek went towards his locker to get notes for the next class. The corridor wasn't much crowded,  he only heard steps of a few students passing by behind his back.

Suddenly he heard a voice that he shouldn't have. He had never turned his head this rapidly ever before in life. Y/N immediately diverted her eyes as their gaze met.

There was something about the intensity of it that she couldn't bear to hold. But as she looked again,  Hoseok passed her a very warm smile: one that would lighten up a person's day.

She stopped there for a moment. Hoseok also turned around to completely face her. She was just a few steps away yet an infinity away.

"I never knew we would run into each other like this!" Hoseok mumbled. She couldn't keep up with his delusion anymore.

"It wasn't intentional," she squeaked, shaking her head in negation, "it was just some stupid coincidence!" She lowered her gaze towards the floor and held on more tightly onto her bag.

Hosoek noticed her hesitation, but he asked instead, "what's your name?"

She gave him a bewildered look and mumbled,  "Y/N!" She said, "Song Y/N!"

"What a pretty name!" Hosoek's mind was numb, he didn't realise that he sound flirtatious.  He got a little afraid that she might sense it and get angry.

"Everyone says that!" She said instead, and held his gaze again.

"Because it really is !" Hosoek smiled , his gaze dropped on her lips that were swollen red from chewing.

He didn't mean to get her uncomfortable.  He backed off a little and said, "by the way, I'm not trying to hit on you Song Y/N!"

Her lips gaped as she heard her name. The world held between their gazes, they forgot to breathe.

"Hyung!" Jungkook touched Hoseok's shoulder from behind. Hosoek flinched and immediate looked at him.

Jungkook's gaze jumped from Hoseok to Y/N and then back at Hosoek but now his eyes were questioning.

Hosoek got utterly nervous, Y/N felt alittle embarrassed as well. Jungkook spotted the blush on her cheeks.

"Ummm... i was just going,  please don't mind me!" Jungkook mumbled looking at Y/N.

"No!" Y/N collected herself, "I've no business with him actually" she looked at Hoseok and shrugged casually, "I'll get late for class!" She added and passed on.

Jungkook playfully placed his arm around Hosoek and blabbered,  "is it her?"

"Yes!" Hosoek smiled as his eyes followed her back, "it's her!"

"Did you ask her name this time?" Jungkook asked.

"Song Y/N..." Hosoek literally sang her name . It literally felt like sweet caramel on his tongue.

"Hmm.." Jungkook's chuckled, " well, important business now,  any updates on Jimin?"

"Yeah! I've something important to tell you.." Hosoek continued telling him about the nurse's call and other importantly events that happened recently.

********

Y/N worked as a waitress in weekdays and as a delivery girl on weekends. She used to deliver letters and newspapers on her bicycle. Her jobs demanded a lot of hard work but she couldn't afford not having one.
