Loving BTS

20. Lost and Found

"Minho-yah! Minho-yah!"

I kept on calling his name to see if anyone would respond. I saw that Hoseok was running around the aquarium on the other side of the fish tank looking for the kid I showed him on my phone.

"Minho-yah!"

"Miss? Are you looking for someone?" Someone tapped me on my shoulder to get my attention that was very unstable from freaking out.

"Hmm? Oh yes!" I turned around to find a staff member looking worried. First, I was surprised by how young she looks, but I remembered that I lost a six year old. "Have you seen a little boy looking lost? He's six years old, his name is Choi Minho, right now he's wearing a blue polo shirt with khakis and sneakers that light up whenever he walks."

"I'll let the other staff members to be on the lookout and give an announcement." The employee then took out a walkie-talkie and started to alert the other staff.

I was in the tunnel where you're surrounded by water and the fish swim above you. There were people walking all around me, but I felt so alone.

"SaeRi-yah!"

I turned around to find Hoseok walking towards me with a little boy clinging to his leg.

"I found him! Minho-yah! Look it's SaeRi noona!" said J-Hope

Minho who looked like he was about to burst into tears let go of J-Hope's leg and ran down the tunnel to me.

"Noona!! Why did you leave me?" whined Minho.

"Mweo? You left me! Don't you ever leave me again!" I wrapped my arms around his little body and caressed his head. I looked up to find Hoseok looking lovingly down at us. "Gomaweo."

"No problem. I'm glad we found him." said J-Hope. He still had his moth covered, but I could understand what he was saying.

"O..Omo......OMO! Aren't you a m..member of BT----" stuttered the employee. She covered her wide smile with her hands and started to hyperventilate.

J-Hope's eyes widened and cut her off. "--OH ANIYO! We have to go! Excuse us!" He picked up Minho and grabbed my hand. "Let's go" he whispered. He then pulled me away from the employee as he speed walked out of the tube.

"Wae? Why are we...where are we going?" I looked back to see a small group forming around the employee and they were looking straight at us.
I let him drag me all the way to a empty room that was filled with tanks of marine plants. Guess people aren't really interested by plants.

"Yah. Why are we here?"

J-Hope gently put Minho back on the floor and looked around nervously.
"Mianhae. I...I have to go...." said J-Hope. After frantically looking around he looked straight at me and smiled widely. "It was SO nice to see you again SaeRi. You have my numbers so text me, arraseo? Minho-yah! Be nice to SaeRi noona!! Annyeong! See you soon!" He waved goodbye and quickly left.

"That was strange..." I grabbed Minho's hand and started to walk back to the main part of the aquarium. "Minho-yah, where do you want to go now?"

...

"HOSEOK! That was so dangerous of you!" yelled his manager

J-Hope had made his way back to the van with his manager who was dragged to the aquarium by J-Hope.

"Mianhae hyung...I was helping a chingoo. It'll never happen again." said J-Hope.

"Arraseo. Just tell me one thing. Was it worth it? Running around the whole aquarium, and almost getting noticed and trampled over?" asked the manager

J-Hope looked straight at his manager and smiled. "Definitely."

...

Couple of hours later after Hoseok had to leave, Minho and I finally covered every inch of the aquarium.

"Minho-yah. Did you enjoy the aquarium?" He and I were on the subway heading back to the apartment. Minho had whined for a ice cream earlier and was now licking a cantaloupe flavored ice cream bar that was sold practically in every super market in South Korea.

"Mmh hmm." said Minho. He was more interested in his ice cream than he was in me.

"As long as you had fun hehe." I ruffled his hair and wiped his chin with a napkin.

"Oh! I have one thing to say." said Minho abruptly, "I don't want you to see Hoseok hyung-ah anymore."

"Mweo? Wae?" I looked down at Minho curiously.

"He was looking at you funny......... He would........look at you..........then smile.............like when appa looks at............umma." said Minho. He paused several times to lick his ice cream so it took a while to finish his sentence.

"Jinjja?......... Minho....are you jealous?" I smirked at the little boy next to me.

"AN..ANNI!" yelled Minho. He looked away and gave all his attention to his ice cream.

I smiled and laughed inside my head at the cute little kid who was turning bright pink.

"Come on Minho. This is our stop."

I stood up reached my hand out for his. He took it without taking his eyes off his shoes and followed me out of the subway and back to our apartments.

Halfway through the park that was between our neighborhood and the subway entrance, Minho had forgotten all about what had happened on the subway and was running around again like a normal 6 year old. I watched him run circles around me pretending to be a airplane as he jumped over sidewalk cracks and ran around trees.

I smiled at him and thought about what he had said earlier.

"I wonder how Hoseok had actually looked at me when I wasn't looking.."

I dropped Minho off at his apartment, said goodbye, and went home which was only a floor up.

I couldn't get Hoseok out of my head..
