Her Hope [BTS J-Hope]

C H A P T E R S E V E N

Sunday passed and Monday dropped. I couldn't be even more groggier in the morning than ever.

I smelt the aroma of waffles being burnt from my bedroom. The smell of it burning startled me, making me jump out of bed and running down the stairs.

"SHIT! TAEHYUNG!! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!" I yelled scrambling to the waffle maker.

"S-s-sorry! I just wanted to make something new! I promise that won't burn the hou~" Tae was scratching the back of his neck and stopped knowing that I was cursing him under my breath. He came up to help me with the burnt waffles, cleaning the griddle.

"Ugh, Tae next time please let me know when you're going to do something new." I sighed and left the scene to get ready for work. Little did I know that my day would be even worse.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Little Mina, you mind getting me some coffee, this time make it black." Hoseok was being more demanding than ever. What really surprised me though, was how the hell he was being normal while I for one keep thinking about our little ten minute encounter in my room. GOD I HATE THAT DAY!

Every time I try to look at Hoseok, my face begins to tint...not a good sign.

"Sure Hoseok." I whispered under my breath.

'Black like your soul.' I thought.

I head to the lounge to grab the coffee, when I ran into Jungkook grabbing some snacks. I wanted to ignore him since, he was a little dangerous to get close to.

"Sooo Mina...how's working with Hoseok?" He had this arrogant little smirk written on his face.

I kept my composure and bluntly answered back. "It's fine."

He came up next to me, still with that smirk. He tried sliding his hand onto my waist, but I wasn't having it. I slapped the hand away, glaring at him with death.

"Stop. I'm not having it...just leave please!" I was raising my voice inch by inch.

"Oh, is the lady having a bad day? I wish I could make it better." He left with a stupid little chuckle.

I rolled my eyes and head back to Hoseok's office. I placed the coffee down and was about to head out, when unexpectedly I was grabbed by the wrist.

"Wait."

My face was tinting and my breathing got heavier. I still don't get my feelings!!

I turned around to face him without looking up. He lifted my chin up but my eyes were still looking down. I tried so hard but it was tempting, not looking at him at this moment. My eyes slowly looked up to see Hoseok's face. His eyes...such sparkle, you might as well as get lost in those vast eyes.

His face creeped close to my side. His warm breath bouncing off my sensitive skin brought goosebumps down my spine.

"You look beautiful today." He whispered.

He let go of my wrist and went back to his desk.

I don't know what really is going on. More specifically, what's with him.

I was shy, exited the room and sat roughly on my chair. I kept questioning why he was acting like this to me...all the results came up to be that he liked me. I know that could not be true...we were pure enemies!

~~~~~~~~~~

*Time jump to November-*

Things have been the same. Jungkook still being a playboy, Tae being my best friend as well as the rest of the boys. Hoseok however, let's say that we've been getting close. But not the close you're probably thinking of! We just kinda got used to each other; him being playful and me just facing the fact he likes me.

I sort of have feelings for him. He just captures me under his spell and I just abide by it. We are sort of friends, maybe you could say acquaintances.

I was at my desk shuffling some things around my desk, when Tae comes knocking on my desk.

"Yah, you staying late today as well or what?" He sounded a bit annoyed.

"I'm sorry Tae, I have these documents to fill. It shouldn't take more than two more extra hours. Don't worry, Hoseok is here...I'll be fine." I felt guilty to Tae. I really didn't have any documents to fill out, it's just Hoseok asked me to stay over for some time. I don't know what for, but he asked and I obeyed.

Tae was getting a bit angry, maybe he felt hurt. I got up from my desk and gave him his famous bear hug. He hugged back and ruffled my hair.

"That's okay Mina, just don't stay out too late. It is Friday after all!" Tae had a tone of despair but he fought it. I felt bad for leaving him like this.

Tae left with the boys and I stayed back with Hoseok, filling out the documents.

"Little Mina, go and get these copied." Hoseok threw the stack of papers on my desk and went back to his office. I was so fed up with this guy, every time he had something for me. When will this stop I don't even know.

I got up and went to the copying room, yawning as usual, it was a really tiring day.

Half way through the copying, I heard someone's footsteps coming close. I didn't bother looking up, but I think I should have. My mistake again.

Hoseok came right behind me, sliding his hands around my waist. I started blushing badly, so bad I think he noticed because he brought me closer to his body.

"Hoseok...wha-what are you doing." He brought his face closer to me, and started kissing down my neck. The kisses felt soft, him being gentle with every kiss made me want more. I wanted more of him, but I couldn't say it.

I don't know what I am to him. Am I an assistant? Or am I more than that to him? What is he to me? I don't know what these feelings are...do I really like him? No. No. This has got to stop, but...I DON'T KNOW HOW! He keeps telling me to not tell anyone, but I can't hold it in anymore, I have to tell someone.

"Mina." He said, whispering in my ear.

"Ye-yes?"

"Why are you shaking?"

"I don't know?"

His hands were still wrapped around my waist. When he asked why I was shaking, he tightened the grip, bringing me back to safety. My shaking calmed down after he tightened the grip.

I couldn't stay like this anymore. I had to know what I was to him.

"Hoseok."

"Yes?" He murmured.

"What am I to you?" He kept quiet. The silence lasted for a while.

"Explain." Such a blunt question.

"You act like a cold man during work, when you come over to hang out with the boys you're so nice and preppy, and when we're alone like this you act like this."

He turned me around to make me face him. I looked into his eyes and was kept under the spell.
