BTS Imagines and Short Stories

15 - J-Hope

Dear Y/N,
What can I say? I'm too shy to tell you my feelings in person, for fear that you won't feel the same way. But I can't keep it to myself anymore... Every day seeing your beautiful smile, hearing your magical laugh, watching your gorgeous eyes, imagining your slender hands intertwined with mine. I've known you for, 5 years now? And you've always been there for me. I don't know what I'd do without you, Y/N. We were young before, free and unknowing. Now, when you lay a hand on my arm as you lean over my shoulder to see what I'm reading, or when you grab my hand as you pull me along the corridor to our next lesson, laughing about something that just happened, my breath hitches. Your touch makes my heart flutter, your warmth makes my lips automatically curl into a smile. I don't want to be friends anymore. I want to be your boyfriend. I want to protect you and keep you safe. I want to always be by your side, experiencing the highs and lows of life. I want to be the reason for happiness. I want to be your oppa. Can I be your oppa?
I love you, Y/N
Forever yours, Hoseok

Hoseok smiled as he slipped the letter into your bag as you walked past him, smiling and waving as you went to your lesson. Later, you both met again when you had the same class. You and him both walked into the room together, and slipped into your seats which were next to each other.

"What are you smiling about?" You asked curiously, observing the boy sat next to you who was grinning madly.
"Your beautiful face," Hoseok laughed. You just giggled and sent him a look. He often made jokes like that and though you'd pretend to scold him but it secretly made you happy.
"Hobi, are you in loooove?" You teased. Surprisingly, he blushed and looked down.
"Yeah..."
You felt your heart sink and your breath caught in your throat.
"Wh-what?" You muttered. He grinned.
"Yeah... She's amazing! I've already asked her to be my girlfriend... Don't worry, you'll know when she answers," He grinned, and you mustered a smile and nodded even though his words were like cuts with a knife. You turned to the front and didn't look at him the whole lesson. He kept trying to catch your attention but you ignored his feeble poking and taps on the shoulder. As much as you loved him being happy, you knew if you spoke to him you'd burst into tears. The bell rang soon after, signalling the end of the lesson, and you grabbed your stuff and ran out of the classroom. You heard Hoseok call your name from behind but you kept running, weaving between students. You could see him pushing his way through, and you needed to go somewhere he couldn't follow you. So, you dipped into the ladies toilets and slumped against the sink, resting your head in your hands. You still had the whole of lunch to wait, but you just couldn't face him right now. So you stood with your back against the wall, staring into space as tears ran down your cheeks. You grabbed your phone and unlocked it to see the screensaver, which was a picture of you and Hoseok. You'd liked him for ages but never had the confidence to tell him. Maybe I should have told him earlier, you thought. Or maybe it was good to not tell him at all.

You checked the time. Only five minutes until the end of lunch, and your next lesson was different to Hoseok's so if you waited maybe you could avoid him. You walked into each stall trying to get tissue.
"Really? No tissue?" You mumbled, annoyed. You grabbed your bag and placed it on the counter, rummaging through it. A sharp point dug into your hand and you pulled it out to see a cream coloured envelope, with your name on the front in Hoseok's unmistakable handwriting. Confused, you opened it and began to read the letter...

"Hoseok!"
As soon as you'd finished reading you'd dropped the paper back into your bag and ran out of the restrooms. You looked back and forth along the corridor but couldn't find him. Where was he?
You suddenly knew where he would be somehow. Your heart led you straight to the back of the school to the grounds, where you spotted the figure of Hoseok leaning against a tree with his back facing you and his forehead against the trunk.
"HOBI!" You ran and threw your arms around his torso, back hugging him. He flinched and stiffened.
"Y/N?" He slowly turned around, surprise written all over his face. He was about to say something when you pressed your lips against his, feeling him smile into the kiss.
"I thought you'd already read it and that's why you ran away because... You didn't like me," he whispered.
"I thought you were talking about another girl," I answered. He grinned.
"Why would there be another girl when I have you? So will you be my girlfriend?"
You smiled, and pecked his lips once more.
"I thought you'd never ask."
