Mr. 5-Kids-Family

The Kim Hoseok Story

"Hoseok, we're going to the mall, you coming?" A friend of his inquired as every student left the school.

"Um...sorry, can't. My parents want me to go straight home today. It's Friday so they want to spend time with me and my brothers." He grinned, showing that beautiful smile everybody loved.

"Oh okay. You still comin' to my house tomorrow though, right?" He asked, a hopeful glint in his eyes. "We have to try out that new game I just bought."

"Dude, I have to bail. I promised my brother, Jimin, to help him study. He's failing science and I told him I was going to help him out." He said with a sympathetic smile.

"Oh dude, don't worry. Family comes first." He reassured, ruffling his brown hair. "You're such a good brother. If only my siblings were like that."

Hoseok laughed. "You get what you deserve."

"Yah! Are you calling me a bad person?"

"Well, would you look at the time! I have to go!" Hoseok chortled. His friend threatened to hit him but he was dragged away by some girl.

Once he was alone in the classroom, his smile immediately fell.

"Why are you lying to them?" A voice suddenly asked, making Hoseok flinch and look behind him. It was Jimin. He rolled his eyes and got back to packing. "Appa is working today and umma is at Yixing's house because they need his help setting up his kid's birthday party. And science is one of the only class I'm actually passing."

"Shut up, I have my reasons."

"And those are?"

"None of your business. Tell Yoongi to not wait up for me."

"Hyung..."

"See ya!"

Hoseok leaves the classroom and quickly runs away. He didn't want to be followed by Jimin because he knows the boy is very capable on doing so. He quickly goes to the bus stop and waits patiently. It should arrive any minute. When it did come, he sat on the seats in the far corner of the bus. He knows he haves to invent some type of excuse now because he is always out on Friday but his family always thought that he was out with his friends. But now that Jimin knows it's a lie, he'll have to come up with another one.

He has been caught in a lie.

The bus arrives at his bus stop and he immediately gets off. He runs quickly towards the big brown building.

"Jung Hoseok. How are you?" The receptionist greets him with a big smile. Yes, he has also lied about his name to these people but even though they say they won't ever call his parents, he can't have anybody knowing he always goes here on Fridays.

"Hi, Ms. Choi. I am doing the same as always. Is Mr. Shin available?" He questioned, with a small but fake smile.

"You know he always is. He takes his 1-hour break at this time just for you, you know? Consider yourself lucky. He is one of our bests." She divulged, pushing her glasses up. "You know where to go."

"Thank you, Ms. Choi." He bowed before walking through the doors.

He sees Mr. Shin typing on his computer with his glasses, looking very busy as always. Hoseok always liked going to his office. He felt free, at last, like he could be himself without anybody judging him. He liked Mr. Shin because the man was open-minded, unlike everybody else.

"Mr. Shin?" He called and the man immediately looked up.

"Mr. Jung! Hi! Nice to see you again." He beamed, taking off his glasses. "I've prepared your favorite snacks today so feel free to grab as many as you like."
