He is my Hope. [BTS Jhope] ✔

Chapter 3

"SU JIN! WHY ARE YOU IGNORING ME?" Hyo Rin yelled, causing me to jump and drop my phone into my lap.

"W-what?!"

"All you do is stare at your phone and giggle! Are you sure you don't have a secret boyfriend?" Hyo Rin questioned me. She was right, I had been attached to my phone these last few weeks since school started. Hoseok was always texting me, he made me laugh with his goofy pictures and silly jokes, I felt myself wanting to talk to him all the time.

"Don't be so hard on her Hyo Rin, she has her first crush." Yun Hee smirked my direction causing me to glare back at her.

"I do not! He's just a good friend." I was quick to defend myself. What if they went running their mouths and Hoseok thought I was obsessed with him or something? Ugh that would be super embarrassing.

"Yeah, sure, just a friend. Oh but while you're texting him can you ask him if Taehyung or Yoongi have said anything about me?" Yun Hee leaned over, giving me a goofy grin.

"Is that all you think about Yun Hee?" Hyo Rin huffed.

"Pretty much." Yun Hee shrugged, causing me to laugh. I assured her I would ask Hoseok if they've said anything.

Su Jin: Hobi, I hate to put you in the middle but have Taehyung or Yoongi said anything about Yun Hee?

Hoseok: Yun Hee? Yeah they've talked about her. 😊

Su Jin: Well do you know if either of them like her?? She won't stop asking me. The girl is in love... with both of them I think. 😲😐

Hoseok: I do know! 😀

Su Jin: ...And?

Hoseok: Secret. 😇 How come you always ask for Yun Hee but never yourself?? Maybe someone likes you!

I quickly turned my screen off before either of my friends could see it. Ahh crap why is that making me so nervous? Does that mean he knows someone likes me?

Hoseok asked me to meet him after school, he invited me over to his house to watch a movie. I was hesitant, being alone with him sounded a little intimidating but I couldn't pass up a chance to hangout with him either.

In the end, I ended up hopping on a bus with him and going to his house. He lead me inside his house and into the living room. I plopped down on the comfortable couch while he went to get popcorn and drinks. He popped in the movie and joined me on the couch.

The movie was a mystery, we kept our eyes glued to the screen which was shocking. Normally we don't shut up around each other. I reached out for the popcorn and felt something warm on my hand. Huh? My eyes looked down to see that I had grabbed Hoseoks hand instead of the popcorn and he was looking back at me with wide eyes and pink cheeks.

I froze. Oh great, he's going to think I'm nuts. Wonderful. He smiled at me and squeezed my hand before turning back around to keep watching the movie, not letting go of my hand.

Why is my heart beating so fast? Holy crap why is it so hot in his house?

"Su Jin? What are you doing here?" I turned to see Namjoon approaching us. When did he get in? His eyes narrowed on our hands. "What's going on?"

I quickly pulled my hand away, earning a strange look from Hoseok. "Oh hey Namjoon! I just came over to watch a movie." I blurted.

"Alone?" Namjoon was eyeing us suspiciously.

Hoseok and I just looked at each other. We didn't have an excuse, did we even need one to hang out together? It felt like Namjoon was irritated at us. We didn't say anything, leaving everything quiet.

"Shouldn't you be getting home Su Jin?" Namjoon broke the awkward silence.

"Oh I'll take you home!" Hoseok jumped to his feet and reached for hand, however before he could get it Namjoon had already pulled me up and towards him.

"You're already home, I'll take her on my way. See you tomorrow."

Hoseok put on a pretend pout, making me giggle before Namjoon pulled me out the door.

Namjoon and I didn't talk until we got back to my house, it was tense. The trip home felt like it took ages.

"Hey, Namjoon... are you mad at me?" I finally broke, I had to know what was wrong.

"I'm not mad... but do you like him?" He wouldn't look me in the eye.

"Hobi? Well... I--" I started but Namjoon grabbed my hand, this time looking right at me with a serious expression.

"Nevermind! I'd rather not know. I just want to say that I was so happy to see you again; I feel like no time has passed, except for the fact you've gotten more beautiful. I was jealous when I saw you with Hoseok because I like you; I have since we were kids."

I stared at him blankly. Wait, what? Namjoon likes me? "I-I uhhh I don't r-really know what to say... thank you?"

He looked at me confused before dropping my hand. "I'm sorry, it was so sudden to just throw this on you. Just think about it, okay?" and with that he left.

I was in a daze as I went inside and to my bedroom, falling on my bed. I immediately brought my hand up and smacked it against my forehead. SHIT did I really say 'Thank you' to his confession? Ugh.

-

The next day I wasn't sure how to act around Namjoon, Hoseok or my friends. No one had ever confessed their love to me before, I thought I should tell my friends but they have such big mouths the whole world would know within a few hours. I wanted to talk to Hoseok but I was nervous after yesterday. I knew I needed to answer Namjoon confession but for now I wanted to avoid him.

I managed to get through the morning without a peep to anyone but as expected, lunch proved to be a problem. I walked into the lunch room and Namjoon was waving at me from our table. I stood there stiffly, staring at my own group of friends and yet wanting to turn around and run away.

Before I could make a break for it, a hand slipped into mine and I looked up to see Hoseok smiling at me. "Su Jin, let's go! I got you a banana milk." He lead me to the table, earning us wide eyes from our friends, a glare from Namjoon and whispers from other students.

It was like Hoseok could tell I was uncomfortable, anytime anyone started to question me about our display he would interrupt and divert their attention. A wave of relief washed over me. Hobi to the rescue.
