"What are you doing here?" Taehyung exclaimed, eyeballs almost popping out of their sockets.
"I could ask the same to you. I live here, what's your excuse?" Hoseok responded, extremely amused by the coincidence. Taehyung was speechless as he had an internal battle and tried not to freak out.
"He's the friend I was talking about." Jungkook answered for him.
"Oh." Hoseok rolled his eyes and picked up the bag of towels, not liking Jungkook's statement for specific reasons. Jungkook had told Yoongi and Hoseok all about Taehyung and his little crush on him. This disappointed him because bros code wouldn't allow him to make a move on Taehyung, who he still thought was very attractive.
Meanwhile, Yoongi paid no mind to the situation crumbling apart in front of him.
"Jungkook, I don't think I'll be sleeping over anymore-"
"Calm down. How do you two know each other?" Jungkook questioned, raising an eyebrow.
"Oh we met at the la-"
"He's the pervert from the laundromat!" Taehyung was still pointing at him as he stood up from the couch in disbelief, still processing the event.
"Ah, geez Hoseok, way to make an impression." Jungkook chuckled, knowing that it was probably a misunderstanding considering the doofus he knew Hoseok to be.
"Your friend here, uh..."
"Taehyung." Jungkook finished for him.
"Right, Taehyung, he wouldn't give me a chance to explain myself."
"What is there to explain?!" He dropped his hand and his mouth fell agape, collapsing back down onto the couch. Hoseok couldn't help but smile at how cute the boy was. He wanted to squeeze his cheeks.
"Well I was half asleep, so I didn't know you took the towels out the washer for me.
So when I woke up and checked, I was confused as to why there were clothes in the washer and then I thought, maybe I did wash my clothes today. And that's how I ended up with your underwear." Hoseok nodded to himself, thinking it was a good explanation. He set down the bag of towels inside a storage closet near the bathroom before sitting on the armchair beside the couch. Taehyung immediately retracted away and sat on the farthest end of the couch away from him.
"Aw c'mon, you still think I'm a creep?" He feigned hurt and put his hand to his heart. Taehyung threw a pillow at him. "Alright, alright, I'm sorry. Let's pretend it never happened? I promise you I'm not a pervert."
Taehyung thought about it for a second. Hoseok didn't look like a pervert... And his explanation did justify his actions. It really was just a misconception that was partially his own fault.
Taking a deep breath, he nodded and stood up from the couch, walking over to the older. "I'm Kim Taehyung." He stuck out his hand for him to shake. Hoseok placed his own hand in his and firmly shook it.
"Jung Hoseok." Hoseok liked the way Taehyung's hand felt. His skin was smooth and it seemed to fit nicely in his own. He wanted to keep holding his hand so badly that he almost didn't let go until-
"Uh-" Tae stood there awkwardly, cheeks flushed with his hand still in Hoseok's.
"Ah, my bad." Hoseok quickly released his hand, hoping he hadn't held it for as long as he imagined he did.
"You can't go back on your word Tae Tae, you've gotta sleep over. Or I'll get payback." Tae scoffed at the younger's remark.
"Yeah, 'Tae Tae', have a sleep over with us." Hoseok added on, wanting to see more of this boy.
"With me." Jungkook emphasized, sending Hoseok a glare. He threw his hands up in defense.
"Jungkook can be so scary sometimes." Hoseok whispered when he had made his way over to Yoongi, nudging his arm.
"What do you want?"
"Let's leave these two here." Hoseok wanted to ask Yoongi if it would be completely wrong for him to hit on Taehyung, and so the two went into Yoongi's room to talk about it.
"I'm going to call Jimin." Tae said, pulling out his phone and dialing his number.
"Alright." Jungkook watched Tae carefully, taking notice of any changes in his attitude considering what had just happened.
"Hey, where are you?" Jimin spoke through the phone, currently making his way back from work to his and Tae's apartment, planning to unpack his own stuff
"Still with Jungkook. I'm probably going to sleepover."
"What? No fair."
"Don't be such a big baby."
"Agh, but what about all the unpacking we still need to do?"
"I can finish another time. It doesn't have to be tonight."
"You're going to miss the new episode of-"
"Jimin. Please. Shut up."
"Then I'll go over."
"No, that'll be no fun. You're going to be all exhausted from work and pass out right away."
"You're not wrong." Taehyung could visualize Jimin shrugging with the biggest smile on his face.
"Plus there's only two halves to the bed and both are taken!" Jungkook yelled next to Tae so Jimin could hear.
"What?! You're sleeping in the same bed with him?"
Taehyung wanted to ask if he was jealous but Jungkook would question it.
"Yeah, sorry. You can come over tomorrow though right? I don't have to go into work until three in the afternoon and you don't work at all so you can stay here with Kookie!" Taehyung compromised.
"Hmph. Okay. I'm in."
"Okay, Call me when you're on your way tomorrow." The two hung up.
"I need to go shower." Taehyung said.
"Ah, well the bathroom is right there and Hoseok just washed the towels. Feel free to use anything."
"Okay, thanks." Tae stood up and grabbed a towel from the storage closet, making his way to the bathroom before turning the light on and remembering he had his clothes in his car. "I'll be right back." He took his keys and shuffled out the apartment and to his car. Jungkook nodded and put his earbuds in, blasting Big Bang's album.
After Yoongi scolded Hoseok for even thinking of daring to make a move on Taehyung, Hoseok decided he needed to cool off and take a shower. So he went into the bathroom without Jungkook noticing. He wondered why the light was on and disreguarded it, turning on the shower to let the water heat up a bit before leaving briefly to grab his clothes and towel from his room.
Taehyung made it back to the apartment in one piece, going back into the bathroom and thinking that it was strange that the water was on, but maybe Jungkook turned it on for him so that he wouldn't have to struggle figuring out how to do so.
Taehyung stripped out of his shirt and reached down to pull down his pants, but before he could complete the task, Hoseok walked in and the two stared at each other for about five seconds before taking any action.
Taehyung shouted and a very confused Hoseok stood there with wide eyes. "See! You really are a pervert!" Taehyung yelled, embarrassed and red faced, shoving Hoseok out the bathroom and slamming the door in his face, making sure to lock it.
Although he was sure Taehyung's impression of him just plummeted all the way down, he couldn't help but think about what a nice upper body and torso Taehyung had.
He stood there in front of the closed door for a couple moments, just blinking and wondering what the hell had just happened.
