Hoseoks steady breathing was something you sometimes stayed up listening to when you couldn't fall asleep right away.
You trace your finger along his collarbone and down his bicep. His skin was soft and it still glistened with sweat from your activities a little while ago. You peer up at him. He was fast asleep, his chest rising and falling slowly and his soft breathing easing your worries. He always looks so peaceful when he's sleeping. You were just about to close your eyes when you suddenly hear your front door open.
"Noona?" Taehyung calls sending you straight into panic mode. You quickly scramble to sit up, grabbing your silk sheets and pulling them up to cover both you and Hoseok.
You had forgotten you gave Taehyung your spare key so that he could let himself in when you were either already sleeping or in the shower. He's come by late the last couple days so he's gotten used to coming in without knocking.
"What's going on?" Hoseok mumbles. He places his hand on your thigh and squeezes.
"Uhh." You try your best to think of a reply but your words are cut off by Taehyung calling your name once more. Hoseok laughs.
"Taehyung." He calls. You shoot him a 'what the fuck are you doing' look as Taehyung slowly opens your door and peeks inside.
"Glad to see you both made up." He says with a smile. Your whole face turns a bright red and you quickly dive under your blankets accidentally tugging them off of Hoseok leaving him completely exposed.
"Ah. I see you guys did more than make up." Taehyung says laughing. He steps further into the room and folds his arms. "I guess our game is cancelled for tonight?" He asks.
You had agreed to play him in Overwatch again but Hobi had been the monkey wrench that messed everything up.
"I'm sorry Taehyung." You mumble from under your covers. Hoseok and Taehyung both laugh.
"I'll leave you to it then." Taehyung says but just as he's about to leave the room Hoseok stops him.
"Why don't you stay? The walk back to the dorm is far and it's late. I'm sure y/n doesn't care if you crash on her sofa." Hoseok pulls the blankets up just high enough to see your face. "She said it's fine," he says with a smile.
"Ok, thanks. I'll be right outside then." Taehyung softly shuts the door behind him and you quickly sit up, slapping Hoseoks bare chest.
He winces but manages to grab you and pull you on top of him.
"Hoseok what the hell was that? How could you be so nonchalant after Taehyung walks in on both of us naked in bed together?"
"He's old enough to know what goes on between us" he says laughing. "He knew we'd probably sleep together when he left earlier."
"That's not funny." You say climbing off of him.
You head into your bathroom and run the shower, softly shutting the door behind you. You take a look in the mirror, admiring the purple patches on your skin that Hoseok had left. He was never good at leaving them in places no one would see. You knew someone was bound to ask questions.
You gently step into the shower, the warm water feeling wonderful against your cold skin. You can't remember the last time a shower had felt so good. You think about everything that Hoseok had said to you hours ago.
She's a close friend of mine
My moms birthday is coming up and I needed help finding a gift for her
I honest to god had no idea she moved in across the hall from you
You were still slightly confused over the whole situation; about the breakup. He had never once confronted you about his worries over Taehyung. As a matter of fact he never showed any hint of jealousy over you both aside from the occasional pout. Come to think of it, Hosoek had slowly backed off from you over the past month before the breakup. Hardly ever texting you back or returning your calls, he rescheduled dates more and more and gave lame excuses as to why he couldn't make it. You never thought much about it because you loved him so much but thinking about it now had you wondering if what he said last night was actually the whole truth.
You finished up in the shower and walked back out to your bedroom. Your bed was empty. You got dressed in clean pjs and headed out to your living room where Taehyung was sitting. He wasn't doing anything aside from sitting on your sofa deep in thought.
"y/n." He says surprised.
"Where did Hoseok go?"
Taehyungs expression darkens but he immediately shakes it off and smiles. "He said he needed to go. Yoongi had called him into the studio or something." He lets out a nervous chuckle and rubs the back of his neck. You weren't buying it and your chest caught fire; a tinge of jealousy boiling in your veins.
"Tell me the truth. Where did Hoseok go?" You ask calmly.
"I just told you."
"I'm not dumb. Stop protecting me and tell me what exactly is going on. I know you know." You reply. Taehyung looks offended but shrugs it off. He walks into the kitchen and comes back with a glass of water, handing it to you.
"I honestly don't know what's going on." He says as he takes a seat on your couch.
"It's that girl isn't it?" You ask. Taehyung looks at you and nods his head. Your grip on the glass tightens as you scoff. "She's not a close friend is she?" You ask. You didn't want to know the answer but you were tired of all the secrets.
"I don't really know. I've never seen her before and he's never talked about her before. Honestly, he's been acting weird but he only started acting that way after the break-up. I don't think he really knows what he wants yet, maybe he's scared? Your relationship with him was getting really serious."
You roll your eyes and chug your water.
"Serious or not, the reason he dumped me doesn't really add up."
"Why'd he do it?" Tae asks.
"Because of you. Because of our relationship. He said we were too close and it made him nervous so to save us both the heartache he ended our relationship. A 3 year friendship and a 1 year relationship. Who ends that over a little bit of jealousy?"
"I don't know."
You let out an exasperated sigh and rub your eyes. "I'm gonna go and lay back down. I'm going back to work tomorrow and I need the sleep."
"Want me to lay with you again?" Tae asks
"No, that's ok. I'll be fine." You smile down at him and head back into your room, shutting the door behind you.
