J-Hope & Grace: I'm Your Hope

It had been utterly hilarious to stand there, front and centre, and watch what was Hobi's welcome home speech. It had been a lovely thing to do where he thanked everyone and now that he was properly home, he could relax and get on with the couple of schedules that had been planned when he last had a few days off.

However, as Seokjin had learnt when he finally walked through the door to the home he shared with Grace, it was hard to adapt from life with strict times and ways to being completely free and at your own pace.

This is why Hobi packed a small bag and grabbed a pillow from his bed. There was just a little too much comfort, just a little too much silence, just a little too much freedom for his liking. It was not even twenty-four hours since his discharge and yet already he was struggling. Of course, the military had warned them that this would be a thing everyone experienced and the more you went about your daily life, the more used to being at home you would feel.

But for Hobi, he knew the only person right now who could give him any kind of encouragement was Seokjin and the only person who could give him that sisterly comfort was not even his own sister, but Grace.

The knock on the door surprised the two and made them wary, as they hadn't expected anyone to pop over unannounced. Dinner was being cooked in the kitchen, the TV in the background was playing some kind of reality show and Grace was already in her pyjamas.

A wary (but scared) Seokjin checked the door cameras and immediately relaxed. Quick as a flash, leaving behind a confused Grace, Seokjin pulled the door open: "Oh J-Hope!"

Grace laughed to herself and automatically got another bowl out, adding a pair of chopsticks to the table with a glass and popped her head around the doorway.

In typical J-Hope style, glasses and beanie on, there was a Louis Vitton bag with a fluffy pillow on top and a pair of sliders by the door.

"Ah hyung, oh Gigi!" Hobi was apologetic at first but turned increasingly happy when he got a look at Grace, as if he hadn't seen her only hours before.

"You planning on moving in?" she asked, chuckling when she found herself wrapped up in a typical Hobi hug.

Seokjin brought the bag over with the pillow, took one look at what he was holding and immediately turned to head upstairs to the spare room. He knew, better than anyone, what was currently running through his dongsaeng's head. Back in the kitchen and the dining room, Grace was plating up the food and Hobi, ever helpful, was bringing it to the table.

"You can stay as long as you like," she was saying as Seokjin returned. "Maybe you can help this one with Run!Jin," Grace nodded in her partner's direction and grinned at the scoff she got in return.

"I had already planned on kidnapping our hope."

Hobi frowned, having kind of been aware of the plan, but not fully understanding the plan behind it. It was over plating up a bit of kimchi that Grace showed him the video of what Seokjin had planned to do.

"Jwan," Hobi complained.

"J-Hope!"

Dinner was a long affair of bouncing back and forth ideas for shows, concerts, Grace's own solo tour, Seokjin's solo album, the planned kidnapping, the military and the like. By the time it was finished and dessert had warmed his belly, Hobi finally felt like he was home and away from his strict military life.

"Her cooking will do that," Seokjin grinned as he led Hobi to the spare bedroom where Min-ji had been waiting.

"Ah, do you want me to move him?" his hyung asked, watching as Hobi spread out the clothes that he had packed with staying for two days in mind.

"No, I've kind of missed him," Hobi smiled as the cat came over to wander around everyone's favourite sunshine and then settled on the chair in the corner.

"Right," Seokjin gave the cat a beady eye for which he got a stare in return. "Well, you know where the bathroom is and you know where Grace and I are so just come running if you need us."

"Hyung, I'm not scared of anything anymore."

That would have been true if the two of them hadn't jumped when Grace knocked on the door and popped her head around. "All settled?" she asked, walking in and pretending not to notice Seokjin trying to calm his beating heart after the little jump scare.

"I will be. Thank you for letting me stay here Gigi, the apartment was a bit too quiet," J-Hope sighed as he sat on the bed.

"I can imagine. Jin needed a video playing in the background of nature songs to get him to sleep the first night he came home."

The second eldest playfully glared, shook his fist at J-Hope then left them to it.

"But you're back now," Grace smiled as she smoothed down the covers of the bed.

It didn't take Hobi long to settle and with the covers tucked up to his chin, the bedside lamp on (for now), Grace picked up Min-Ji and waited at the door.

The last time she had spent time like this with her sunshine was over six months ago and she wondered if he would remember but ever the one to remember all the members quirks, nicknames and pastimes, BTS' sunshine and dance leader proved that he was back (at least to Grace.)

"I'm your hope," he started.

"Your my hope," she replied with a grin.

"I'm J-Hope."
