longer chapter for y'all :*

hoseok was pleasantly surprised when jungkook paid for him at the movie theater. despite his protests, the boy bought his tickets and offered to buy him food. 

"no, no, don't worry about it, i'm good," hoseok replied, but jungkook just kept asking if he was sure.

"don't worry about it kookie, let's hurry before we miss the movie!" he exclaimed as he ran off into the theater, jungkook following him closely. 

originally, jungkook had planned on taking them to see a comedy or action movie, but while he was deciding, jimin had texted him saying that according to yoongi, hoseok was really into horror films. 

hoseok was honestly just so excited for their date and impressed with jungkook being so gentlemanly and paying for his ticket that he hadn't even bothered to check what movie they were seeing.

he sat down in his seat next to hoseok, the previews already running on the screen in front of them. he was about to start talking to hoseok again when the boy pulled his backpack onto his lap, opening it and revealing a stash of snacks, candy, and drinks.

jungkook's eyes widened and he stared in awe as the older boy pulled out two footlong sandwiches, two drinks, chips, and candy and began to set it all up for them to eat.

"what? aren't you gonna eat?" hoseok asked, staring back at him, sandwich on his lap and drink in his hands. 

the younger boy let out a small chuckle, shaking his head as he picked up his sandwich. 

"thank you, but next time, let me be the one to treat you to a meal."

at that, hoseok blushed, excited to know that the other boy wanted to have a next time.

>>>

when the boys exited the theater, hoseok was practically shaking as he clung to jungkook's arm. 

the taller boy found out the hard way that hoseok didn't actually like horror films, but he wasn't gonna lie and say that he didn't enjoy the way he had been clinging to him since the movie started. 

he apologized to the older and explained why he chose that movie, all he could hear in response was hoseok muttering something that sounded like he was going to kill yoongi. 

by the time the boys mad it outside, hoseok had calmed down enough to let go of jungkook's arm (much to his disappointment).

now they were walking side by side to the ice cream place a few blocks away, their hands bumping against each other shyly in the awkward almost-holding-hands way.

both of their faces were feeling warmer and their hearts were beating faster, and jungkook swore to himself mentally that if hoseok bumped his hand against his one more time, he was gonna go for it. 

when hoseok's hand bumped against his own the next time, his face grew even warmer, butterflies in his tummy going berserk as he laced his fingers with the older boy's shyly. 

he looked away, too scared to see his reaction, also embarrassed of the hot blush on his cheeks that was now spreading to his ears. 

he had never felt this way for anyone before, so his only source of knowledge of how to act in these situations was from this anime he once watched with jimin. 

at this rate, hoseok's heart was just about ready to fly out of his chest. 

when jungkook felt the other boy's more delicate hand squeezing back, his face broke out into a smile as they entered the shop, the cold air helping him to cool down his burning face. 

>>>

after getting their ice cream, jungkook took hoseok to this park he had been telling him about earlier. (i was imagining a place like descanso gardens or kenneth hahn idk some place with cool plants n shit)

it was fairly large, and there were several different gardens throughout the park with different themes, jungkook excitedly dragging the older boy to each and everyone to show him. 

once the younger boy settled down, he smiled sheepishly at hoseok. 

"sorry sunbae, i just really like it here," he laughed quietly and looked down, biting his lip. 

hoseok stepped closer to the boy, their chests about half a foot away from each other as he leaned closer to the boy, putting a hand on his shoulder as he smiled and laughed as well. 

"it's fine, i didn't mind really. your enthusiasm was cute. also, don't be so formal with me kookie-ah, call me hyung, okay?" he said in a soothing yet playful tone as he put his finger under jungkook's chin, tilting his head up so they were face to face. 

jungkook's eyes lit up, but then, as he stared into the slightly shorter boy's eyes, he realized that their faces were only inches away. his heart rate sped up almost immediately, even more blood rushing to his face as he tried to calm himself down to respond normally. 

" ...hyung?"

hoseok giggled, and the younger boy's heart clenched even more. 

how did he go from sounding so mature to being a soft and fluffy sunbabe in .0425 seconds?

he really wanted to kiss the boy in front of him, but before he could do anything stupid and make a fool out of himself. he wrapped his arms around his waist and engulfed him in a tight hug instead.

hoseok tensed up, shocked by the sudden action, before relaxing and snaking his arms up behind the boy's neck, pulling himself even closer as jungkook buried his face in his neck. 

hoseok was enjoying this much to question it, and jungkook found his scent so appealing that he never wanted to let go. 

if there was a way to smell like sunshine, jungkook was sure that hoseok had found it. 

the older boy noticed him inhaling deeply and he chuckled softly, despite the fact that he was in no place to say anything since he was doing the same. 

"sorry hyung... i don't know what happened..." the boy mumbled into hoseok's neck, his voice muffled, before taking one last, sharp inhale and pulling away as hoseok hit his arm playfully.

"hey! stop apologizing! it's okay, really."

jungkook nodded, looking up at the sky and seeing that it was getting dark already. he frowned, realizing that it was probably time to go. 

"it's getting late hoseok hyung, i don't want you to walk home in the dark, but i also don't want this to end yet" he pouted at hoseok, who sighed and looked up at the sky as well, a warm bubbly feeling erupting in his chest when the younger boy spoke of him in a way that made him feel almost precious  in a way(??0. 

"i guess we should head back now... and don't worry jungkookie, you still have to treat me to that meal next time," he added the last part with a wink, and jungkook laughed, nodding in agreement.

"you're right," he said, dropping his hand to lace his fingers with his hyung's once again, more naturally this time.

"let's go home hyung."
