Fresh Hope

22 out in the open

Just sitting with each other. It's nice.
You want to tell him about his brother, but everything is so calm right now.

"I had a thought, we should have a date. Like a real one. Anything you fancy doing?"
He's excited. It's cute and infectious. "Hoseok, you have a stage to prepare for, and you're here with your brothers. I'm here with my friends. We shouldn't be thinking about that. Plus, there's still some things we should talk about." Your stomach flips. "Right now, we are friends with a blurred line. I don't want to burst your bubble. "
"Well, you kind of did." He says, he turns and says, "You need to be punished. " For the longest second, he is motionless.
His fingers dive at you. "This is my torture, I hate being tickled, so hahaha."
You don't move. You just smile at him. "Aw, Hoseok, you forgot that I wasn't tickly. What a mistake." He's totally perplexed.  An attack like that would have him kicking and biting to get anyway. "Damn, I forgot, Wow, you really are tougher than you look." He held his chin while pretending to think. You can't help but laugh at him. He tries again, but still, you don't move. "Fuck, I just wanted to make sure"
"OK so what should we do now?" He says with a pout.
"I really should go back to my room. The girls might be forming a search party."
"Now who's being dramatic, I asked Jin Hyung to tell them you were with me."
Panic.
"When did you speak to Jin?" What if he's already told him.
"Jin Hyung is a great big bro, he will pass along the message." He lays his head on your lap and swings his legs over the arm rest. You can't ruin this nice time. This is how it should have been last night. For now your will keep it to yourself, but you will tell him.
"We still have stuff to talk about. But not now, let's just relax for a few minutes. I can't believe you tickled me. Ha! Now I remember this is your weakness!" He smiles up at you from your lap. "Yeah, but you will never use it against me,  your not that mean" he's back to being cute and adorable. How can a grown man get away with that. It should be against the law.
"What about, 20 questions? But no categorise we can just ask a questions? You can only skip on 3." OK he's played this game before,  you think. "game on, but if u ask a question be prepared to answer it back." You reply.
He bristles a little. 'Ha, didn't expect that'.

Hoseok "Me first. If you could live in any other time what would it be and why?"
You "eh, the 60s, free love baby! But not the stds hahaha "
You "if you could have debuted with another group who would it have been?"                        Hoseok, "shit, eh, GOT7. Jackson would have been a great team mate"

Hoseok "if you could only do one sexual position for the rest of your life what would it be?"
You laugh. OK that's the direction he wants to go. Fine.
You, "reverse cowgirl. I've got a good ass."
You "same question"
Hoseok "Yeah you have a great ass, that or doggy."                                                                                                
Hoseok "can you remember your first orgasm, if so tell me about it"
You, "Yes, a girl never forgets her first time" he's looking at you with fascination.
"No don't get excited, it was really embarrassing, it was gym class. Climbing a rope." You hid your face remembering the looks from your class mates. "Oh sweetie, don't worry, from now on, I'm the only one that will see you"                                                                                                                                   
You, "who would you like to Collab with next, either as part of the group or on your own"
Hoseok "damn you could give interviewers a run for their money, good question. Well I can't speak for the group, there are a few we have talked about. Me, well I would love to work on something with my muses. Old school hip hop artists. Real artists you know, Kendrick Lamar,     J-Cole people like that. They really influenced me as a kid."
"Aw, how cute, I do believe you have a crush" you tease.
That's its he's up and ready to tickle, then he remembers , your not gonna be affected by that. "Hmmm, I need to find another punishment for you"
You check your watch.
"I really should get going. What if one of the guys walk in, or the staff.?"
He's disappointed but understands what your saying.
"One of the reasons, my selfish reasons is, I don't want to share you with anyone just yet. It's not because I'm embarrassed, before your brain goes into meltdown, I just want it to be us for a while. Is that ok?"

"Yeah, well we are friends, but your a little comfortable, so the staff could take it a different way. Though, with your brothers I don't think that will last long, Yoongi, said he saw us going into your room last night. And Jin helped me find you after he and I..... After we got talking in the lounge, he might think there's more than friendship happening here".

"I kind of thought that Suga Hyung knew, but Jin Hyung, he didn't say anything. He's a good brother too he won't say anything until we do. If we decide that is, that's where you want to take our friendship" you can tell he's fishing for more on how you see things working out.  "Maybe I should tell Yoongi that he's the only one that knows. That we aren't sure what we are doing" His brain is working  making a decisions.  "What ever you decide, with Yoongi is cool with me." You say. Shit you really should have just said something there. Moving around, to get Hoseok to stand up. You stretch when you get to your feet. His arms hugging you from the back.

"Right, so your bed or mine, I can't wait to sleep with you again."
You know he's meaning 'lay next to you' but your belly jumps and you kitty stirs.
"We can't, we are taking things slow. Like a lazy sloth, slow. How's that gonna look, I walk you into my suite "night girls, as you walk into my room, nope not gonna work. And I'm not ready to go back your room. Still stings a little"
"Sweetie, you don't realise it,  but I get the best rest when I'm next to you, hugging you. Breathing in your sweet smell"
You take off your hoodie, "here put this on a pillow and snuggle that" your laughing and he's ready to throw an aeygo tantrum.
"And remember that we are both here with other people, not to see each other. It's great that we have had this time, but you have a schedule and I won't be getting in the way of that" Forget the cute pout, he's actually pouting. Looking like someone took his favourite stuffed kwas toy. "Hoseok, really, stop with the face, you know it's the way things are." He holds on to your waist, "you don't want to see me?" Emotional warfare.                                                                                         "Don't get in your head about seeing me or not. You have a job to do. If it wasn't for that job, your dedication and passion for it, I wouldn't know you, so go do your job and I will see you after it." You give him a small kiss on his cheek. "There are still things we need to talk about and they are important, for us to be honest and start the year on the right foot." He kisses you back. "Sweetie, I'm here for you, if its important to you, its important to me. I promise I will listen, I know that I frightened you, with how I reacted yesterday, I will do my best never to do that again" each time he speaks he kisses you. "I was your friend first and I will always be." He kisses you with a little more passion "but I do really like that I can kiss you like this, I don't want that to change"

His lips are so sweet and soft, his tongue in a dance with yours. How can something so simple like this, feel so hot?
Ah shit. You fall into his mouth, his arms around your back and up your spine, holding you to his chest. "Sweetie, it's so easy for us to be like this, I know everything else will fall into place. You just have to trust in me, I really hope you can"
"I'm trying". You whisper., "and i hope that you can trust me"
