hoseok snaps out of his daze, slender fingers bringing brought together in a form of a snap repeatedly, looking up from the ground floor of the dance studio to see yoongi crouching down to meet eye level, with a huge grin plastered upon his face.

"oh, hey hyung," hoseok responds, absentmindedly rolling his eyes, hoping yoongi takes a hint, and doesn't try to make more of the conversation, himself not really wanting to talk to anyone at the moment.

"we're all about to go to the carnival; wanna join?" yoongi asks, his gummy smile beginning to form as his eyes slowly turn into crescents, the sight triggering hoseok's mind to the time where a smile couldn't possibly be removed from his face not even a month before. bringing everyone into a cheerful mood, guessing since he isn't filling up the 'job' yoongi will have to be his 'replacement.'

the brunet parts his lips about to decline yoongi's offer, when the dance studio's door opens up, himself turning his head to see who bursted in; wishing he didn't. him not inhaling any air, almost as if he forgot how to breath, seeing the person who caused his never ending smiling to fade.

his best friend kim taehyung. yoongi noticing the younger's eyes never leaving the others view, making him sigh softly and move out of the way, knowing taehyung came into talk to no one other than hoseok.

"hey hobi, hyung! wanna go to the carnival with us? i really would like to ride some rides with you," taehyung smiles, with his infamous rectangular form, walking over towards the elders, taking a seat right before hoseok, his knees against the wooden floor, sitting upon he heels of his feet.

the older feeling his heart rate pick up speed the closer he gets, feeling as if he could melt at any moment.

the brunet, hearing the younger's question, smiles lightly, causing taehyung's eyes to widen a tad, seeing his smile less and less frequently nowadays, hoseok giving a vague answers like, 'there's no point to smile right now.'

"yeah, that would be fun, actually yoongi hyung was just asking me to tag along," hoseok responds with a light smile, the blond not surprised with he unenthusiastic answer, him being used to his friend never wanting to do anything but practice, namjoon usually being the one that finally gets him to agree to take a break.

"okay great, when you're done talking with yoongi hyung let's meet in our room, yeah?" he smiles, ruffling up his hyung's hair, before getting up from the ground, walking out the room, leaving yoongi and hoseok alone.

"ready?" yoongi asks the younger latter; extending out his left arm indicating he wants to help the brunet up, the younger accepting the offer, putting his hand in the other's, feeling himself being lifted up from the ground, a bit too forcefully,

accidentally falling on top of the raven, the elder falling with a thud, cursing under his breath from the contact of his back with the wooden floor. hoseok landing safely on the other, a few chuckles escaping his lips, at the irony, helping his hyung up, yoongi's newly reddened face, not receiving notice from the brunet.

soon they make their way into the van so they could be driven to the carnival, their manger's assistant driving as their manager keeps an eye on his favourite seven guys, looking into the mirror, that gives him access to view them, every now and then.
