"Hang out with me today!"

"Can't. Jungkook and I are getting food later."

"We never spend any time together anymore!" Hoseok jumps up and down, clinging to the short blond in the hallway. "You're always hanging out with Jungkook now, don't you care about your other friends? We miss you." The dancer pouts, hoping to make his case but soon gets rejected when Jimin shrugs him off his body.

"Shut up."

"It's true and you know it! Why do you see each other so much anyways? What does he have that we don't?"

"He doesn't do anything different than you guys, he's just cooler than I thought he would be." Hobi notices his change in appearance, the younger now has a thin layer of blush across his cheeks. He winks at the gushing boy and Jimin attempts to cover his cheeks with his small hands, the redness still shinning bright through the cracks. "Don't rush to any conclusions! Stop giving me that smirk!"

Hoseok chuckles and crosses his arms, grin planted firmly on his beautiful features. "What smirk? This is just my face."

"You're so annoying, go away. Go hang out with Tae today." Hoseok huffs in defeat, watching the youngest of them all head towards them. He knew that once the giant appeared, it would be hard to have a conversation with him.

"Whatever. Bye Min." It was as if all the two could see was each other, Jungkook not even glancing at Hobi when they crossed paths. Hurriedly he finds Tae's locker, before he throws up.

The red head was leaning over, books and utensils neatly packed into the small bag. When he noticed the elder there, he curved his lips before he slumped the bag over his shoulder.

"Wanna hang out today?" Tae shrugs, walking towards the exit already and Hobi cheers, thinking of a place to eat. Neither of them actually cared where they ate so they chose a new restaurant, small in it's size but the food was served as if it was gormet.

At times, it was hard to make out what Hoseok was saying whenever he was eating. He always had the bits of mushed food fulfilling his mouth while he laughs or rants, but Taehyung got the gist of things. Lately Hobi only went on and on about Jimin and Jungkook. It was infuriating. Couldn't there be other topics for them to converse? At the speed of his rants, Tae believed Hoseok could be a very successful rapper. "And then today it was so obvious that Jimin couldn't wait to see Jungkook-"

"You act like you like him." He never looked up at Hobi, only pushing around the food with his fork. He had to shut him up somehow, he felt his ears would fall off soon.

The dancer never hears Taehyung speak so this came as quite a shock. He knows that he is a selective mute but the only times he speaks is when Jimin is around. Then Hoseok has to endure the giddiness of the blond when he speculated that Hobi would never hear Tae speak. Looks like today is his lucky day. "D-Did you just... speak? Right in front of my salad?" The red head glares at him before picking up his remains and throwing it away. No... I probably imagined it... Through his daze, he manages to throw the rabbit food away, following the younger. He does his best to think of a response. "I-I don't like him like that I just... miss him as a friend would."

The cold hits them hard when the wind knocks the door back more than Taehyung intended. Leaving the restaurant, Hoseok swore he heard the words he would soon come to question later. "Good. Cause we can't both like him."

Sorry it's short 🙈
