WORDLESS AFFECTION [NAMHOPE]

PART-20

HS: "For you!" He handed Namjoon a set of books that he bought for him in Jeju.

NJ: "Books!" *exclaims, joy visible on his face*

HS: "As you don't like seafood, I got you these novels."

NJ: "Thank you!"

HS: "Mention not. For mom and dad, I picked up some snacks. Will they like them?"

NJ: "Of course!"

HS: "Okay! I'm going to them." Holding the paper bag full of snacks, he headed downstairs.

The lively sounds of his parents' laughter and conversation drifted from the living room into Namjoon's bedroom. Namjoon kept his smile on his face, wondering when he had started growing very fond of Hoseok.

Sitting on the bed, he spread his legs straight and began reading one of the books bought for him.

In a while, his husband was back to the room.

HS: "They loved the souvenirs." He squealed.

NJ: *smiles* "Told ya, Hun!"

HS: "Yeah!" He was going to sit on the other side of the bed when he halted on his steps, turning his face to Namjoon. His eyes widened. "W-What did you just call me?"

NJ: "Uh..nothing!" *hides his face with the book*

HS: "You did. Don't lie."

NJ: *sighs* "I was actually...as you know, we always call each other by our given names, 'Namjoonshi' and 'Hoseok'. It feels awkward, when we are this much affectionate with each other. So I tried to come up with a nickname." Hoseok blushed.

HS: "I see. Well, it does feel kinda awkward."

NJ: "Do you like the name?"

HS: "Yeah! 'Hun', means 'Honey', right?"

NJ: "No. The 'H' represents your name, Hoseok, and 'UN' from sunflower. You've always loved them, and to me, they symbolize you."

HS: *smiles* "I really love it."

NJ: "Hurry up and get me a nickname too."

HS: "Can I call you 'Joon' as your mom?"

NJ: *nods*

HS: "Joon!'

NJ: "Yes, Hun?" His voice was as sweet as honey, that expressed the affection he holds for the younger.

Hoseok climbed the bed and completely attached himself to his husband. He intertwined both of their hands and left no chance to get closer, his head placed on Namjoon's shoulder.

HS: "So good you make me feel, Joon! I never thought you would like me."

NJ: "Why?"

HS: "Because, you continously used to nag me at first."

NJ: *chuckles* "Sorry for that. I also never in my life knew I would love someone and being loved."

HS: "Now, you do all sorts of things you found cringey before."

NJ: "I don't mind. I'll even kiss you in front of my parents." The younger's face turned red again.

HS: "H-hey! Just stop it."

Holding his wrist gently like a petal, Namjoon placed a soft kiss on his knuckles.

NJ: "When I'm with you, every cringey stuff is worth doing because it makes me happy."

At this, Hoseok didn't say anything. He just closed his eyes and leaned more into Namjoon's crook.

Yoongi was at Jimin's house. In the peaceful garden, they could be seen seated on the swing, holding hands.

JM: "I feel bad for Taehyung. He was so hurt."

YG: "But you can't blame Hoseok for that."

JM: "I'm not blaming him. Only if Tae knew about his marriage before confessing to him, he wouldn't get heartbroken like this."

YG: "Even if he knew, the heartbreak was meant to happen. What he was asking for was not possible."

JM: *sighs* "You're right."

YG: "He will get over it with time."

JM: "Still..I'm worried for him."

YG: "Come on! He's strong and will move on. Besides, let's talk about us. I came over to hang out with you, not to see your gloomy, ugly face."

JM: "YAH, MIN YOONGI!" He smacked his back and Yoongi chuckled hard who just wanted to cheer his boyfriend up.

SOMEWHERE-

A young boy with a bunny smile, caressed the picture frame of his childhood self alongside an older guy and put it in his bag. His mom walked in.

??: "Are you sure Kook you really want to go?"

JK: "Yes, Mom!"

JK/M: "It's gonna be lonely without you here."

JK: "We can video call."

JK/M: "Yeah but...Maybe, I should ask your dad to permanently shift to Korea."

JK: "That would be great." She nodded with a smile and left. Zipping his suitcase, he clapped his hands. "Done! Can't wait to see you again, hyung!"
