So of course, Hoseok convinces himself as he steps past the threshold into Larkburger, that he’s only there because it’s the closest and most convenient restaurant near the East side of campus - even if he had to take his car across the Commons to get there.
On top of that, there’s a chance Jimin might be working the afternoon shift today. In truth, Hoseok already knows his schedule, memorized like the back of his hand; Jimin always worked on Fridays, and he knew this. He’s starting to run out of excuses.
“Hey hyung,” Jimin greets him happily, crossing his arms over the small monitor screen and leaning forward. “Did you come by yourself?”
“Yeah, I’m heading over to the resource center right now to get some homework done. Figured I’d drop by and say hi,” Hosoek says, smiling and ruffling Jimin’s soft black hair. He subtly scans the restaurant for Taehyung, but he’s nowhere to be found. Hoseok pretends he doesn’t care.
“Did you want something to eat?” Jimin asks, jabbing his thumb towards the kitchen behind him. “Manager’s not here today, so I can sneak you a free burger like the badass I am.”
“Right,” Hoseok scoffs. He bites at his bottom lip. “Yeah, I uh, can I get the truffle burger. With fries?”
Jimin’s finger pauses over the screen, and he looks up at Hoseok with wide eyes, a knowing, mischievous smirk spreading it’s way across his face.
“Truffle burger, huh?”
“Just shut up.”
