Just Friends (Jung Hoseok/J-Hope ff)

5.

(Back to Nari POV)

It was half past seven, when he drove us to the studio. Hobi seemed incredibly happy. But I already mentioned he had always been a happy-go-lucky. His car was a black Hyundai. Before he went for the driver's side, he politely opened up the door for me.

"Ladies first." He smiled showing off his dimples.

"Thank you." I said.

"Anything for you." He said, grabbing my hand. It wasn't anything unusal, we often held hands. Since our childhood, we had been each other's greatest supporters. That cause many drama around us - the girls who either slept with him or dated him briefly were jealous of me. I tried to get on well with them but all I received was hate. Same went to my brother's relationships, his girls were even jealous of his own sibling!

When we reached our destination, I took a look at the building. It was indeed an amazing place - huge, white building and its name was Beat Heaven as the sign said.

"This is my workplace." I could sense the pride in his deep voice.

We entered and bunch of kids were playing. They were about 5-6 years old. I smiled at them softly. There were no words to describe their cuteness.
He chuckled seeing the expression on my face.

"I'm not the one who teaches them but sometimes I do it for fun. They are so cute." He told me.

"Hey buddy!" I heard a guy's voice. He was shorter than Hobi, still taller than me. What caught my attention was his adorable eyesmile.
"Hi Jimin." Hobi said and greeted him with a high five.

Upon seeing me, he adressed a wide grin for me.

"Who's this pretty girl? Have you got a girlfriend again?"

I din't know why I didn't like this sentence, somehow it pissed me off. Yes, dear Hoseok was a player along with my brother but still...

"Nope. She's my best friend. She's Yoongi's sister." He answered.

"Wow, so you are Nari. I didn't know Yoongi had a hot sister." Jimin laughed and winked at me.

I felt Hobi's hand became tighter around mine. Here we go, unnecessary protective nature again.

"Nice to meet you, Jimin." I said trying to sound kindly.

"We gotta go. I have a practice to hold at 8.30." As he finished his sentence, Hobi pulled away towards a room.

"What's wrong with you?" I asked him after we went to the practice room. It was 7.40, there was no one here except us.

"He's a playboy. He looked like a predator and you... the innocent prey."

"Just to remind you... you are also a player." I snapped at him.

"Just for your information, I don't hit on innocent, poor girls."

"How do you know I'm 100 percent innocent?" I asked him and I saw his face changing color. It was rare but I succeeded in making him angry.
"You are, don't try to piss me off."
"You are my best friend, not my brother goddamn it!"
"Probably but you are like a sister to me whom I never had!"

I felt an invisible punch on my jaw. But in the same time I was happy. He thought I was important.

"Good morning, J-Hope hyung." I heard young boys greeting.

"Good morning guys." He welcomed them as well. Those boys were younger than me but not that much. They were high schoolers - probably they needed to take dance lessons here, in a dance studio. They seemed to be students of a prestigious school, judging by their yellow uniform.

"Hello, noona." They said to me.
"Hello." I greeted them back.
"She's my best female friend and I wanted her to see how I work. So guys, let's get it start it. Go change!"

They nodded and went to the dressing room.

"I hope you will like it." He said to me.
"I like everything you do." I kissed him on cheek. His face turned to slightly red but after hearing the boys' arrival, he got back the natural color.

I took a comfortable position at the end of the room, leaning on the mirror.

"So, today we will practice some hip-hop. I will teach you some moves." He started the practice. I was looking forward it. Seeing him dance always made my jaw drop.
