It's been around two weeks since the incident at school. Hoseok still deeply cared for Jimin. The occasional mention of his name will sometimes make him break down, but he's learning to control it after realizing Jimin isn't worth crying over.
Taehyung has become his new best friend, always by his side to lift him up when he's feeling down. Spending time with him made Hoseok happy, though he wasn't sure why he was always smiling when he was around.
"Hey, Hobi," Taehyung said, looking up from his phone.
"Yeah?"
"So there's a party at my friend Jungkook's house this Saturday...Do you want to go? It could help take your mind off of...Y'know..."
Hoseok sighed and leaned back, "I don't know. I'm not really a party person,"
Taehyung frowned and stuck out his bottom lip, "C'mon, hyunggg. I don't want to go by myself. Do you want me to go by myself?"
"Can't you go with someone else? I know you have other friends,"
"Yeah...But I want to go with you. You're my bestfriend, Hobi," Taehyung threw his arm around Hoseok's shoulders and smiled, "Go for me,"
Hoseok groaned and threw his head back, "Fiiine, but if you get drunk or someone tries to butt-rape me, I'm going straight home,"
Taehyung laughed and ruffled Hoseok's hair, "Deal, but don't worry, I won't let anyone butt-rape you. That's my job," He said with a wink.
Hoseok laughed and shoved Taehyung, "You're gross. Like seriously, you need to get a girlfriend,"
Taehyung's smile faded as he looked down and bit the inside of his cheeks, "Hobi, have you forgotten that I still like you?"
Hoseok turned to Taehyung and furrowed his eyebrows, "You do? I thought you were over me,"
"You could murder someone and I'd still think that you're the living embodiment of perfection, Hoseok," He smiled at Hoseok before scratching the back of his head, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought it up. But hey, you still haven't told me what happened to you cheek,"
"Oh, right...I guess I could tell you. Just don't laugh, okay?"
Taehyung nodded and stared at him, waiting for him to explain.
"Well I came home one night from I think Yoongi's house and as usual, my parents were arguing, so I went to the kitchen to see what it was about. Then there stood my mom with an empty glass bottle in her hand, threatening to hit my dad. I of course had to do something so she wouldn't hurt him or herself, so I grabbed her wrist. Big mistake. It scared her because she didn't know it was me, so she slammed the bottle on my head, thus causing this ugly scar," Hoseok bit his lip and waited patiently for Taehyung's repsonse.
Taehyung stared at him for a moment, mulling over his story and how he should respond, "I'm sorry, Hobi...I wish you would have told me sooner, but then again, I guess you had Jimin to comfort you then...If it ever happens again, please, come to me first, okay?"
Hoseok nodded, "I will. You're the only person I talk to right now anyways,"
Taehyung just hummed in response. He was still staring at Hoseok, admiring his facial features. The way his cheeks would tinge pink with any compliment, the way his jawline was shaped, his high cheek bones, his lips...God, he just wanted to kiss him already.
(A/N : Me too, me too)
Hoseok tilted his head and looked at Taehyung, "Tae? Is everything alright?"
Taehyung smiled and leaned in closer to Hoseok's face, "Have I ever told how beautiful you are?"
