In the time it took Jimin to finish getting dressed, Hosoek had gained the courage to confess.

He paced in front of their door and when it opened, he took his chance.

He pushed Jimin back into the room, startling the younger.

"Hyung, what-"

"Jimin, I love you. I know you're surprised by this, and I know you are going to take time to heal from Yoongi, but I wanted to let you know I'll wait. I'll wait for you to love me back, if you just say the word." Hosoek spoke fast knowing he needed to get it out.

"Hyung-"

"Please Jimin. Just think about it. You don't have to say anything yet. I just had to tell you how I feel."

"Hobie-"

"Please just think about it. Don't just-"

"Hyung! Let me speak!" Jimin laughed.

Hosoek took a breath and waited for Jimin to speak.

"Thank you for telling me how you feel. But I do need to wait before I give you my answer. I really need to think about things and this certainly will be one of them." Jimin didn't want to reject Hosoek out of hand and it certainly gave him something to think about.

He had someone tell him they loved him. Was willing to wait for him to love him back. Who wouldn't hurt him.

He looked up at Hosoek and smiled at him.

"Will you think about it? Please?" Hosoek grabbed Jimin's hands and squeezed them.

Jimin nodded and smiled a little brighter.

Hosoek whooped and grabbed Jimin into a hug. "Can I give you a kiss? Just a small-"

Jimin pressed his lips to Hosoek's and he felt Hosoek smile into the kiss.

The kiss was nice, but no spark. It held no zing. Hosoek's lips were soft and moved gently against his, but it felt like kissing his brother. Which was really weird.

Hosoek leant away from Jimin and gave him another hug. He whispered thank you against his hair and Jimin just nodded.

A cough behind the brought them to attention that the door was still open. And Jimin blushed at thinking anyone in the dorm could have heard their conversation or seen their kiss.

Really he was just worried about one person seeing it.

"Are either of you coming to breakfast or continue hugging?" Namjoon awkwardly stood in the doorway.

"We're coming, Hyung." Hosoek wrapped an arm around Jimin and pulled him into the hall.

Jimin gave a half smile to Namjoon as he passed and Namjoon shook his head at the younger. Jimin looked away and hung his head. He knew Namjoon knew.

As they sat down to eat, Jimin noticed a certain Hyung was missing. But he was too afraid to ask.

Taehyung leant over and whispered, "he's in his studio. He'd been waiting to talk to you and went to talk to you after you got dressed, but then he slammed the door to his studio." He straightened in his chair and shoveled rice into his mouth.

Jimin swallowed heavily. Did he see them?
