Heart Racer ~ (Yoonseok/Sope)

Chapter 6

Hoseok went over to Mr. Park and started talking with him about something Yoongi couldn't quite make out. Yoongi observed Hoseok from across the room. He watched the way the younger's lips moved when he spoke and the way his body swayed back and forth when listening because he was always hyper.

"Yoongi!" Mr. Park called out. Yoongi walked over to Hoseok and Mr. Park, not wanting to be close to the younger or even speak to him. The nervousness in yoongi grew with each step. Mr. Park placed his hands on the youngest's shoulders and made him face Yoongi. "My friend Hoseok here wants a little help with his racing. You're the best in town, maybe you could teach him some new tricks or something, yeah?" Oh no.

"Uhh okay, or no, or I mean-" Yoongi took a deep breath before meeting the confused looks on the other men's faces. "Why does Hoseok need help? He literally won first place last night. He seems fine." Yoongi met Hoseok's eyes yet again, this time seeing a hint of sadness behind them. "Well, everyone has their weaknesses. Just because Hoseok won last night does not mean it's a common thing for him." Mr. Park and Hoseok looked at Yoongi with pleading eyes. "Okay, I'll teach him."

"Great! I'll let you two talk out the details." Mr. Park patted both males on their shoulders before returning to his work on Yoongi's car. "Hey.." Hoseok said quietly, just like he did last night. "Hi..." Yoongi replied, both boys looking at the ground. After a little silence, Yoongi spoke up. "W-What do you need help with?" C'mon Yoongi, now we're stuttering?

"I don't really know. Maybe with some strategies for winning more? Whatever you're willing to give me. I know top dog Yoongi doesn't want to give out all of his secrets." Hoseok teased with a smirk. The older nervously giggled. "Yeahh, I guess." "How about this," Hoseok began. "I'll unblock your number and you can text me when you want to meet, okay? I don't want to be in your way so I'll let you plan it out. Just let me know where you want to meet and I'll bring my car there. Is that fine?"

"Yeah, that's um, fine." Yoongi felt a little joy knowing he'd have Hoseok's number in his phone again after 9 months. He had to let himself remember that it was just for helping him, not like they were gonna be together again or anything. Thinking about this made any resemblance of a smile go away on Yoongi's face.

Hoseok unblocked Yoongi's number and texted a quick "hey" before the two parted ways in an awkwardly manner. When Yoongi got home, he sighed and plopped down on his couch. If he stayed home and fixed his car himself, he wouldn't be in this predicament. He decided to pick up his phone and text Hoseok. He never changed the contact name which still said "Seok ❤️". Yoongi changed it to "Hoseok" and felt a pang in his heart. After grieving the name change of his once lover, Yoongi texted Hoseok.

Yoongi: Hey, does tomorrow at 6 work for you? We could meet at the abandoned airport in the west end

Hoseok: Yes, that sounds great! See you then

Yoongi sighed once again. He did not know what tomorrow would bring. But he got to see Hoseok, and that's all that mattered to him.

Hoseok got up to use the bathroom, leaving his phone open on the kitchen counter. A younger man walked over and picked it up. He started going through Hoseok's messages, reading as much as he could before the older came back.

Hoseok came back into the kitchen with a smile on his face. "Hey bab-" "Why the fuck do you have Yoongi in your phone? And you're supposed to meet him tomorrow?! Isn't this the guy you were talking to last night?!" Hoseok's smile was quickly replaced with a frown. "Well... yes, it's the guy from last night. Mr. Park set it up so that he can help me with my racing-" "I can help you with that, you don't need him. He's crazy if he thinks he has a chance with you. You're MINE, and I will help you. Not some other man."

"I know, Jungkook, but Yoongi's one of the best. And besides, you haven't raced in four months. Dont you think it would-" "NO," the younger male quickly interrupted. "HE DOESNT NEED TO BE NEAR YOU!" Jungkook cleared his throat. "I will help you tomorrow. Block his number." The younger walked out the front door, leaving Hoseok standing there feeling lost.
