last hope

Chapter 14

Hoseok arrives home to an empty apartment. Or at least, the silence makes him assume it's empty until Yoongi wanders out of the bathroom butt naked.

'Shit, hyung!' Hoseok spins around. Oh my God, Yoongi is completely naked. Hoseok screams internally, fighting the urge to turn and stare while also wanting to run as far away as possible.

Yoongi gives a low laugh. 'Hoseok,' he steps towards him. His hand wraps around his wrist, and Hoseok feels himself being spun around. He's met with Yoongi's bemused expression, the corners of his mouth turned up in an amused smile. 'If you're going to freak out whenever you see me naked, we might have a problem.'

Hoseok lets out a shaky breath. 'I just,' he faltered. 'I wasn't expecting it.'

'You're allowed to see me naked,' Yoongi smirks, 'I'm your boyfriend.'

Hoseok knows this. Of course he knows this. But hearing Yoongi say it, out loud, makes him shiver. Boyfriend.

'Do you always walk around naked when I'm not here?' Hoseok whispers. He hopes the answer is no. He's silently pleading with the universe that the answer is no because he can't handle the idea that the entire time he's been crushing on his roommate, the man has been naked in this apartment any time he's been out.

Yoongi chuckles. 'No,' he shakes his head. 'I just had a shower.'

When Hoseok doesn't say anything, Yoongi sighs and takes his hand, lifting it to touch his wet hair. 'See? I used your conditioner.'

That makes Hoseok grin. 'The coconut one? That's really expensive, hyung, have you been using that the whole time? I thought it wasn't lasting long! You should have-'

Hoseok's rambling is cut short as Yoongi's lips are pressed against his. His hands find the back of Yoongi's neck, his skin warm and still slightly damp. Yoongi's hands slide up Hoseok's chest, and he moans against Yoongi's lips. The hands against his chest grip at his t-shirt, pulling him closer as Yoongi bites Hoseok's bottom lip.

Hoseok opens his mouth with another moan as Yoongi deepens this kiss, pushing him against the wall. His skin is on fire, his breath too hot in his lungs. Yoongi's hands move to his waist, and even through the slightly sweaty fabric of his t-shirt, Yoongi's touch feels like an electric shock against his skin.

It's only when Yoongi slides his hand under Hoseok's t-shirt, his fingers finally tracing over his bare skin, that Hoseok realises how absurd the situation truly is. He's standing there, fully clothed, being pressed against the door by his insanely hot boyfriend who is completely, unashamedly naked.

Hoseok is about to point this out when there is a short knock at the door, followed seconds later by Jungkook calling out as he enters the apartment.

'Hi, sorry I'm a bit early, classes finished at four today so I thought I'd head over now-'

Hoseok practically throws Yoongi across the hall and into his bedroom. Thank God the door was open.

'Hi, Kook,' he grins, trying his best to ignore the sounds of Yoongi grumbling under his breath as he picks himself up off of the floor and pulls some clothes on.

Jungkook tilts his head at him quizzically. 'Where's Yooongi hyung?'

'Just getting changed after a shower, he'll be out in a minute.'

Jungkook collapses onto the sofa. His face is paler than usual, and he has dark circles under his usually bright eyes. Hoseok frowns.

'When was the last time you slept properly?'

Jungkook waves a hand dismissively. 'I could ask you the same question.'

Hoseok shrugs. He isn't wrong. 'I'll get us a drink.'
