Paper Hearts (Re-write)

Chapter 7: One lost, five gained

Okay, breathe y/n.
I knock exactly three times and made sure to space them out. I don't want to seem to eager to get inside. I look down to see a fuzzy on my sweater sleeve. I reach down to grab it. I fling it in the air but with my luck, Hoseok opens the door right when I throw it and the fuzzy was going in his direction. He scrunches up his face and backs up away from it but quickly recovers.

Hoseok: (snorts) Well thank you for that.

Y/n: I-I didn't mean to do that.

Hoseok: It's just a fuzzy, I'll live. Hey, come in.

He motions me to come inside and I quickly obey. I place my bookbag on the floor and take out my water bottle.

Hoseok: We should stretch first. (Sits on the ground)

Y/n: Yes we shall.

Shall? What the actual fuck. I smile and nod and sit a few feet next to him. My mind is going crazy. He takes his right hand and extends it across his chest and with his left hand pushing down on his elbow. I quickly do the same thing and alternate arms. He extends his legs in front of him and reaches for his toes and a groan escapes his lips. I clear my throat and do the same but without the sexual groan.

Hoseok: Do you go to school?

Y/n: Yes, I go to UOS.

Hoseok: I was planning on going there.

Y/n: Why didn't you?

Hoseok: Because it's a safe route. What's the fun in that?

Y/n: So what if it's not fun? At least, at the end, you have, hopefully, a steady job to keeping you living. It's safe .

Hoseok: But living happily? You would have missed out on the things you really wanted to do. People take the safe route because they're scared at failing. And I don't get it, they didn't even try.

Y/n: Hm, I guess you're right.

Hoseok: Sorry. I tend to ramble about random crap, I hope you don't mind. (Chuckles)

Y/n: No it's okay. It's good to have conversations like this, it gets the mind going.

Hoseok: Okay, so for the song, I want to dance to is this.

He gets up from the floor and walks over to the stereo. He grabs his phone and scrolls down until I see his finger tap on the screen. The music plays and my head moves with the music without me realizing until Hoseok speaks up.

Hoseok: It's called pillow talk.

Y/n: Hm...I like it.

Hoseok: Good. Because I didn't want you dancing to a song you don't even like.

We listen to the song play out. It was awkward but then again everything is awkward for me.

Y/n: So ah... What's your girlfriend's name?

Hoseok: Kang Ji-Hyun. Here look ( he disconnects his phone and shows me a picture of her)
