Just Friends (Jung Hoseok/J-Hope ff)

Hoseok POV

It was her graduation. The cutest girl of all, Min Nari. She was two grade below then me and her brother, my male best friend, Yoongi, we moved to Seoul after our ceremony. We had all had dreams to chase.

I adored her. Beauty, intelligent, funny... she had everything I was searching in a girl. Ironically, I didn't want any real relationship but still dreamed about someone cute like her. Too bad she was like my sister.

She was beautiful - beautiful long hair, her milky skin, big eyes and eyelashes... I was admiring her beauty when suddenly my friend woke me up from my daydream.

"Hobi, I was talking to you." Yoongi asked me.

"Yeah, sorry. I'm just tired."

He seemed really worried. We both were perfectionists - I was dancing till I couldn't feel my legs, he was composing music until he couldn't keep his eyes open.
After our short conversation, their mom scolded us not to exhaust ourselves that much.
The ceremony started and when I heard the most beautiful name of the class, my heart melted.

"Min Nari."

I would have lied If I had said that I had never imagine ourselves as a couple. But I knew it was forbidden - I thought of her more as a sister than a girl but sometimes I had dreams with her by my side. I was troubled. We were best friends... and on the top of that I was also the best friend of her brother.

I had always been a playboy. At least being with other girls made me forget about her for short period of time.

After her ceremony ended, we searched for her. I found her talking with some guy and she was laughing like a seal. That guy was an absolute nerd. He was not her type - though I didn't know her ideal guy.
Then she noticed us - and waved us to come there.

Who probably knew that was Yoongi, because they didn't keep any secret, from each other. But if I had asked him, he would have punched me in my face. He had already accused me of liking her baby sister.

Nari didn't have any close people around her. Just me and her brother. We wanted her to make friends with others but she had trust issues, she didn't really let others close to her. I couldn't blame her, her father was a sensitive point in their life, especially in hers. She was scared of the thought we would leave her behind, we visited her everytime we could.

"Congratulations, sis." Yoongi cheered and kissed her cheek."

"Congratulations, dear." now I was ths one who gave her kisses.

"I will take a photo of you, don't move." Yoona, their mom said and all I heard was a click. "You are adorable, my children.

Seeing this photo, I immediately knew it will be used as a decoration for our shared apartment.

"Love you, guys." She said lovingly.

"Let's go to the restaurant." Yoona said after we exited the school and guiding us to the car.

I was happy for her. She was one step closer to her goal. She was hardworking and I knew everything she had decided and dreamed would all become true. I had always been by her side and all I could do was hoping she had known that.
