baby boys - jung hoseok + min yoongi

The school week begins again, and Hoseok is back at work, after dropping off his children at school. He's more at ease today, knowing that his children are doing fine at school and they're not stressed anymore like they were a week ago. Jiro and Kenji seem to like their English teacher, because they always come back to Hoseok to tell him about how their teacher always teaches them cool things. He's happy that he doesn't have to stress about his children's unhappiness anymore.

"What are you thinking about?" Jun asked, noticing that Hoseok was writing his reports while smiling really big. "You didn't discover weed or something, right? Are you drunk?"

"I'm just happy," Hoseok said, "because my kids are happy in school and they're healthy and I'm just so happy everything is going well in my life."

"That's cute," Jun laughed, sipping on his usual cup of coffee, "I'm glad you're happy."

There's a silence for a moment, and Jun turns quickly towards Hoseok, a desperate look on his face.

"I know I said I wouldn't talk about him again," Jun sighed, "but did Yoongi even try to speak to you this weekend after everyone went out on Saturday? I was giddy all weekend, hoping you guys would call each other or at least have an actual conversation."

"I told you, he texted me after we went out," Hoseok reminded Jun.

"Other than that," Jun rolled his eyes, "did you talk on the phone?"

Hoseok shook his head. "I just replied that I would look forward to hanging again."

Jun sighed. "Well, when he does, let me know, please. I ship you guys, honestly. Your ship name is going to be Yoonseok."

"You're being ridicul-"

Hoseok's cell phone buzzed on his desk. He picked up the phone and look at the newest notification.

yoongi: are you busy? would you like to have some lunch today?

"Holy shit," Hoseok gasped, clutching his phone to his chest frantically. Jun's eyes widened as well and he reached for the phone on Hoseok's chest.

"Let me see! Did he text you?" Jun asked, trying to pry Hoseok's hands off his phone.

Hoseok turned the phone screen towards Jun and showed him. Jun almost let out a yelp, but covered it up with his hands. Hoseok's heart is racing fast again, just like every time he thinks about Yoongi.

"Ask him where, you dumbfuck, don't leave him hanging!" Jun cursed.

This was like high school all over again. It brought back memories of when Hoseok would ask all his friends at lunch what to say to that pretty girl in their chemistry class, and they all would huddle around him and help, before cheering victory when the girl said yes to going on a date with them.

However, Hoseok is older now, Hoseok is twenty-four. Hoseok is a man with a job, and Hoseok is texting Yoongi, not a girl from chemistry.

Hoseok texts Yoongi back quickly.

hoseok: I'd love to go out. Where should we meet?

"You are smooth, Jung Hoseok, look at you, picking up a man," Jun complimented him, rubbing his shoulder.

Yoongi responded two minutes later, telling Hoseok that he knows a nice Thai food place just down the street from the clinic where Yoongi worked. Yoongi told Hoseok that he'll meet him there at half-past noon, and Hoseok told him that the time was fine.

"I wish I dressed a little better," Hoseok whined, looking down at his white T-Shirt, black jeans, and light baby blue jacket.

"You look fine," Jun assured him, "and you didn't even know he was going to ask you. Go have fun with him, and get to know him well. I know you're on the edge as to whether or not you want to date him, maybe this will be your breakthrough."
