A match made in the stars

Home

Jin stood outside Hoseok's apartment. He hadn't seen his friend in almost a year. As he raised his hand to knock, the door flew open, and Hoseok stood there, grinning widely.

"Hyung! It's so good to see you!"

Hoseok exclaimed, pulling Jin into a tight hug. Jin hugged him back just as tightly.

"I've missed you, Hobi."

They stepped inside, and Hoseok gestured for Jin to sit on the couch. The apartment was warm and inviting, filled with little touches of Hoseok's personality. They sat down, and Hoseok handed Jin a can of soda.

"So, how have you been? Tell me everything."

Jin smiled and took a sip of his drink.

"I've been good, just busy with the usual stuff. It's been strange not having you around."

"I know what you mean. Military life is so different from what we're used to. But it's good to be back."

They chatted about their experiences, laughing and reminiscing about old times. Jin felt a wave of nostalgia wash over him, grateful for the friendship they had built over the years. However, as the conversation continued, Hoseok's sharp eyes began to pick up on something different about Jin. There was a certain lightness in his demeanour, an underlying happiness that seemed new.

"Hyung, there's something different about you. You seem... happier. What's going on?"

Jin shifted uncomfortably, not meeting Hoseok's gaze.

"What do you mean? I'm just glad to have you back."

Hoseok shook his head.

"No, it's more than that. I've known you for over ten years, Jin-Hyung. I can tell when something's up. Spill it."

Jin sighed, realizing there was no hiding it from Hoseok. He hesitated for a moment before finally speaking.

"Alright, alright. You caught me. There's something I've been wanting to tell you."

Hoseok leaned forward.

"Go on."

Jin took a deep breath.

"It started with my mother. She was nagging me about getting married, saying it was time for me to settle down. At first, I brushed it off, but she was persistent. So, to get her off my back, I signed up for a matchmaking service."

Hoseok's eyes widened in surprise.

"You did what?"

"I know, it sounds crazy, but I didn't expect anything to come of it. And then... I met someone. Her name is Luna. We've been talking for a few months, and we finally met in person recently."

Hoseok's expression softened, a wide smile spreading across his face.

"Hyung, that's amazing! Tell me more about her."

Jin's face lit up as he spoke about Luna. He described their first meeting at his brother's restaurant, how easy it was to talk to her, and the connection he felt. He shared how Luna's warmth and genuine nature had captivated him, making him feel things he hadn't felt in a long time.

"And the best part is that she likes me for who I am, not just because I'm a member of BTS. With her, I can be just Jin."

Hoseok reached out and placed a hand on Jin's shoulder.

"Hyung, I'm so happy for you. You deserve this. After all the years we've spent focusing on our careers, it's about time you found someone special."

Jin smiled, feeling a weight lift off his shoulders.

"Thank you, Hobi. It means a lot to hear you say that."

They sat in comfortable silence for a moment, the bond between them stronger than ever. Hoseok broke the silence with a playful grin.

"So, when do I get to meet this amazing woman?"

Jin laughed.

"Soon, I hope. But first, let's focus on getting you settled back in. We've got a lot to catch up on, and I don't want to overwhelm you."

Hoseok nodded, understanding.

"Fair enough. But just know, I'm here for you, Hyung. Whatever you need, I'm just a call away."

Jin felt a surge of gratitude for his friend.

"Thanks, Hobi. It's good to have you back."

As they continued to talk, Jin realized how much he had missed these moments with Hoseok. Their friendship had always been a source of strength and comfort, and now, with Luna in his life, he felt like he had the best of both worlds. The future felt bright, and Jin was ready to embrace whatever came next, with his friends and Luna by his side.
