Things Happen, People Change | Jung Hoseok

2:

"Who are you?" Asked a quiet voice from above him. Hoseok opened his eyes to look at the figure above him. The girl leaning over him smiled slightly.

"Pardon?" He asked after a minute of staring at this.

"What's your name?" She repeated slowly. Hoseok sat up as she said this and nodded.

"I'm Hoseok"

It was surprising, that he even had time to go out this late in his busy, busy schedule. It was surprising, that Namjoon wasn't with him, especially considering the younger had agreed to come with him in the first place. Apparently changing plans last minute hadn't been the smartest move he'd had ever made. The thought of Taehyung scolding Namjoon again brought a smile to the young man's lips.

What crazy thought brought me out here at this hour, anyway? I could be asleep now. Hoseok thought to himself, the smile dropping from his lips. Why was he here? Maybe he just wanted some free time, but he really wasn't sure. Either way, the time for regretting his choices was over, as Hoseok was getting close to his destination.

It was a bar he had found a few months back and hadn't had a chance to visit yet, with comeback season looming so close. Now with all of the hassle being over for the next while, He could finally go.

With a sigh, he double checked his face mask was covering his, well, face. As he got closer spotted a young pale haired man standing outside with a cigarette in his grasp. He was obviously bored and had recently been in a fight, if the bruising around his eye was anything to go by.

As Hoseok passed, The young pale haired man finished the remainder of his cigarette and dropped the butt. He frowned and crushed it under his heel before heading inside, with Hoseok following soon after.

The inside of the place didn't really surprise him. The whole place was styled in dark blues and greens. There were several tables scattered around the place, some of them half full. And as Hoseok crossed over to the bar, he noted the pale haired man was behind it along with a darker haired one who seemed to be hanging off him.

So he works here? Hoseok wondered. It made sense. All the visible staff had the same style of dress about them. A common theme was suspenders for some reason he couldn't explain. Maybe the owner liked suspenders. Who was he to judge? Fuck, there were memes of him that he really did not want to think of at that moment.

When he did make it the bar, and seated himself at a free bar stool, he rested his arms on the bar and took not of the drinks list. He was, going to bring some of the others here sometime, he decided. And just as he decided this, a distinctly feminine voice grabbed his attention.

"See anything you like up there?" Hoseok looked down from the drinks list to see the pale haired male, female he amended himself, from before leaning on the bar across from him. "Cause if you haven't, I do not recommend anything from the first two lists, Not to start with"

"Uh, thank you for that insight" Hoseok dipped his head slightly.

"Nah, Don't thank me. Just doing it cause neither me or Junho like making them," As she said this and agonised groan came from the other man;

"Yeon Joo help!"

"See figure 1" She laughed at her companions agony before shrugging, "Anyway, when you do end up deciding what you want, wave me over" And with that she went to help her partner.

Hoseok ordered a drink, almost ten minutes later. He was only having one, he decided, before texting Namjoon to see if he could be picked up in 20 minutes or so. Of course then he remembered he was wearing a face mask. He debated leaving it but decided better of it and removed the mask with a sigh.

"Now that's not something you see everyday" Noted Junho from where he was standing but Hoseok wasn't quite sure if he was talking about him or something else.

"I'm bored. Talk to me" Came the sudden voice of the white haired female as she leaned on the bar to the side of Hoseok. Hoseok looked up, a frown creasing his brow.

"Me?" He questioned after a moment passed.

"Yes you. You because Junho is busy and you're the newest person here who hasn't moved to a far of table." Hoseok doubted this but decided t play along with her.

"Alright then... What happened to your eye?" He asked, an eyebrow raised questioningly.

"I got into a fight before my shift started. I was half an hour late for it but it was fucking worth it. Should've seen their faces when they realised I was in a bad mood" She shrugged as if it wasn't a big deal.

"Ah" Hoseok frowned and checked how much time he had left. Namjoon had sent a reply confirming he could. He had 15 minutes and a barely touched drink. "I don't suppose you want to answer questions about your hair being light?"

"I don't suppose you want to talk about yours either" Yeon Joo sassed back at him. Hoseok was momentarily wordless. "Thought so"

"Got me there" Hoseok stated slowly as Yeon Joo grinned at him.

"Anyway, I forgot to ask your name. I'm Yeon Joo as you must've heard shouted before. So who're you?" Yeon Joo adopted a serious expression, dropping all forms of mirth so suddenly it was shocking. Hoseok opened his mouth to reply then closed it again as his phone buzzed at him. It turned out to be Namjoon telling him he was going to be early.

"Crap. Hey, Sorry Yeon Joo but I apparently have to go. So uh..?" Hoseok nodded at his mostly full drink, "What should I do with that?"

"Um, I'll see if we have a coffee cup lying around somewhere if you want to take it with you" She stated while Hoseok replaced his mask. He shook his head quickly.

"Don't want it." He stated while he grabbed his coat. Yeon Joo pursed her lips in annoyance before shrugging

"Alright then. Have a good night" And with that, Hoseok ran outside so he could be there for his lift.

A/N: So this is unedited but I'll get around to it
