Hoseok chuckled, the sound bubbling up from his chest like a spring.

It was a genuine laugh, the kind that made his eyes crinkle at the corners, the kind he hadn't felt in a long time.

Hoseok threw his head back, a laugh bubbling up from his chest like a joyous geyser.

He hadn't laughed like this - truly laughed - since the accident.

Or maybe he had, he just couldn't remember!!!

The thought was a splash of ice water on the embers of his joy but Jungkook, blessedly, cracked another joke, pulling him back to the present.

Jungkook!!!

Hoseok still wasn't quite used to the way his name felt in his mouth, a whispered prayer on the tip of his tongue.

Tho they had met only a day ago, a chance encounter at Jimin's vet clinic.

Yet, something about the younger man - the gentle way he handled the rambunctious fluffy kitten, the way his eyes crinkled at the corners when he smiled - drew Hoseok in.

He watched now, a strange warmth blooming in his chest, as Jungkook scratched the kitten nestled in his lap.

The little furball purred, rubbing its head against Jungkook's hand.

It was a scene so simple, so domestic, yet it sent a tremor through Hoseok, an echo of something

He didn't know why, but being around Jungkook made him feel safe, like the world was suddenly a lot less chaotic.

It was a feeling he hadn't experienced since the accident, and it confused him as much as it comforted him.

He stole a glance at Jungkook, who was sitting beside him, a quiet smile playing on his lips.

He saw the way Jungkook was still looking at him, his eyes holding a tenderness that made Hoseok's heart flutter.

It was a feeling he couldn't quite name, a warmth that spread through him like a comforting fire.

He felt a spark of something familiar, a resonance that echoed in his forgotten past.

Jungkook, who had just turned his face towards Hoseok, watched him with an ache in his chest.

Hoseok laughed out loud when je saw the little kitten chasing her tail, on Jungkook's lap.

Jungkook swore he saw a flicker of his old Hoseok in that laughter, a small spark of the vibrant boy who had once lit up his life.
