Hoseok and I were downstairs, in the entryway, waiting for Jimin to finish getting dressed. He was taking forever, it seemed, since Jimin is so vain. He likes to make sure that every spec of him is flawless, from the hair to the shoes. About, ten minutes after Jimin had got out the shower, Jackson had to leave to take care of some business that Namjoon asked of him. We tried to get Jackson to tell us where he was going but, he only assured us that he will meet us at the meeting.

Hoseok cracked a smile as he brushed up against my shoulder, playfully. When I pushed him, he stumbled back while he chuckled. Pushing me back, to challenge, Hoseok rolled up his sleeves and smirked. Soon, we found ourselves play fighting, a bit, near the staircase. It felt nice to joke around with Hoseok again. Only God knows how long it's been since we legitimately spent time together without fighting about something petty. Now that I think about it, I miss the old Hobi who I loved so much...that was like my older brother. I don't know who this new guy, J-Hope, is. J-Hope was a completely different person from, sweet and sun-shinning, Hobi. J-Hope is an asshole and cold hearted jerk. I wish my old best friend would come back already.

In defeat, Hoseok backed off with a cute pout. I straightened myself up, walking back toward the staircase.

Hoseok giggled, "So, are you and Jiminie back together?"

Jiminie? I thought to myself, They have nicknames for each other now? UGH! That's not important right now.

"I'm not sure yet, honestly," I sighed, "I...I just don't know."

Hoseok scoffed as he walked away, towards the staircase. I guess I had ruined the moment. Hoseok was like a cheerleader. He was always rooting for Jimin and I to get back together, although he was the one who broke us up in the first place. Resting a hand on the railing of the staircase, Hoseok sighed heavily and slow. Assuming he was annoyed with my answer, I tried to get out of his way to avoid an argument. I got closer to the front door, as if he would forget that I was standing by it. I watched him as he checked the top of the steps, I assume for a sign of Jimin, before he continued.

"What was that, upstairs, then?" Hoseok whispered in an angry tone.

I shrugged.

"Dude, you two were making love up there! Passionate love! Please don't tell me that you're using him for sex now?" Hoseok began to scold me, "Jimin doesn't deserve to be taken advantage of! After all he has done for you-How could you?"

I responded, "It was just a 'heat of the moment' thing. I didn't even want to do it."

"You didn't want to do it?!" Hosoek repeated loudly, "What the hell?"

I shook my head vigorously. Hoseok should know me better than that. I never thought he would think of me to be that type of person. When have I ever used someone for their body?  Granted, I still wasn't sure if I was ready to take Jimin back, just yet, I wouldn't use him for his body.

"I didn't mean it like that," I tried to explain, "I wanted to go see Namjoon about Choi before the sex happened but, Jimin was coming on to me. I couldn't resist him."

Hoseok started to shake his head in disappointment while he folded his arms over his chest.

"You shouldn't have fucked him if you weren't planning to take him back," Hoseok snarled.

I threw my arms in the air, giving up on explaining myself to someone who ruined my relationship. Hoseok would never understand how I feel. 

"Because of that stunt you pulled, Jimin is probably thinking that you are taking him back now. Otherwise, you wouldn't have given into having sex. He's gonna be crushed when he finds out that you aren't considering him as your boyfriend," Hoseok noted.
