Namjoon, Jin, Yoongi, and Jimin arrived at the supermarket, each dressed in their unique styles that radiated an undeniable aura of authority and distinction. Their presence seemed to draw attention, and heads turned as they walked through the aisles. The air around them felt charged with an almost palpable sense of power.

They collected a few items to make their visit appear casual and unassuming, aiming to blend in while they approached Hoseok. Once they had finished shopping, they made their way to the checkout counter, where Hoseok's back was turned as he worked behind the register.

Namjoon cleared his throat, drawing Hoseok's attention. The cashier turned, and the sight of the four men caused his eyes to widen in surprise. Hoseok’s expression softened as he took in the strikingly handsome figures before him.

Jin leaned closer to his brothers, his gaze locked on Hoseok. “Are you seeing what I’m seeing?” he whispered, his voice tinged with disbelief.

Yoongi, Jimin and Namjoon nodded in agreement. They now understood why Taehyung and Jungkook had been so determined to have Hoseok. The cashier's beauty was even more pronounced up close—his features were perfectly defined, though not without their small, charming flaws that added to his allure.

Hoseok offered a polite smile. “Hello. How can I help you today?”

Jimin’s eyes lingered on Hoseok’s face as he asked, “May I know your name?”

Hoseok responded with a gentle smile, “My name is Hoseok. Jung Hoseok.”

The four brothers exchanged knowing glances. This was indeed the Hoseok they had heard about.

Yoongi stepped forward, placing their items on the counter. As their hands brushed, Yoongi couldn’t help but notice how soft Hoseok’s fingers were. He sighed, captivated by the brief touch. Hoseok’s subtle gesture of licking his lips did not go unnoticed; the men’s eyes followed the movement, and their own lips involuntarily mirrored the action.

As Hoseok packaged their goods, Namjoon took the opportunity to break the ice. “We wanted to talk to you about something. Do you remember the two guys who approached you yesterday?”

Hoseok’s expression shifted to one of irritation. “Yes, I remember. Why are you asking?”

Namjoon, his tone smooth, said, “I’m one of their brothers. The other three with me are also related to them. I wanted to clarify thier offer from yesterday.”

Hoseok’s eyes narrowed, and he sighed, clearly frustrated. “I don’t think I need to hear more. Please have some respect.”

Namjoon, intrigued by Hoseok’s response, decided to be more explicit. “I don’t think you fully understood. We’re offering you a significant amount of money—three hundred thousand a week—to be our bed mate, to have sexual relations with us.”

Hoseok’s face flushed with anger. He pinched the bridge of his nose, trying to calm himself. “How much did you say?”

Namjoon, sensing Hoseok’s growing interest, smirked. “Three hundred thousand a week. It’s a generous offer.”

Hoseok’s expression hardened, and he shook his head. “You can donate that money to an orphanage. I am not a prostitute, and I’m not interested in being bought. I’m also not gay and have no intention of taking part in such activities.”

His frustration was evident as he turned away, heading toward the back room. “I have other things to attend to.”

The four brothers stood in stunned silence. Jimin, unable to contain his amusement, chuckled as he picked up their goods. Yoongi and Namjoon exchanged looks, their expressions a mix of disappointment and resolve.

As they exited the supermarket and climbed into their grand car, the atmosphere was tense. Yoongi broke the silence. “What just happened?”

Jin, still somewhat amused, replied, “We just got turned down by someone who clearly doesn’t know his place.”

Namjoon sighed, his frustration palpable. “I really want Hoseok. He’s intriguing.”

Yoongi asked, “So what’s the plan now?”

Namjoon’s expression hardened. “We try a little harder. If he continues to refuse, we may need to escalate things. He will regret not accepting our offer.”

The car drove away, leaving the supermarket behind as the four brothers plotted their next move. The game was far from over, and they were determined to make Hoseok a part of their world, no matter the cost.
