Yoongi was having a pretty normal day so far. His nerves over his job weren't through the roof, and coffee was in his sights, so everything was pretty okay. Yoongi spotted Hoseok sitting on the couch, watching the TV. He shrugged and went over to sit next to Hoseok.

Hoseok immediately noticed. "Oh, Yoongi! Hello! What's up?" 

God, Hoseok was too bright for the morning. Yoongi felt like he had to squint at the guy to actually see him. "Eh, not much.  You?" Thankfully Yoongi was managing to hold a decent conversation. 

"I was just watching the news. It's pretty interesting today, actually. See, this guy..." Hobi indeed kept on talking, but Yoongi wasn't paying attention. Yoongi was just staring intently at Hoseok, practically not even blinking at this point. 

Before any of them knew it, Yoongi had poked Hoseok's cheek with a single finger. Hoseok sucked in a breath in surprise because, uhm, what was Yoongi doing? Yoongi, meanwhile, was gently dragging the finger across Hoseok's cheek.

It was really soft, Yoongi thought. And it was really healthy, too. Yoongi poked Hoseok's cheek again. The corners of his mouth twitched upward, before falling not two seconds later. Why the hell was he doing this?

"Uhm... Yoongi? Can I, heh, ask what you're doing? Maybe?" Hoseok sounded just as confused as Yoongi. Hoseok was also obviously blushing. Oh boy. 

"I--" Yoongi withdrew his hand and opted to have it settle on his lap. There, it could do no harm. "I don't know." Yoongi honestly didn't know. Were his nerves worse that he thought? Was he being possessed by a ghost? 

"Oh. Uhm. Alright." There was a pause before a worried Hobi asked, "Are you okay?"

Yoongi sipped his coffee for a moment. "Well. Probably not. I don't know. Maybe?" Yoongi noticed that he, too, was now blushing.

"Oh. Okay."

It got awkward pretty quickly. And for some unholy reason, it stayed like that for probably two minutes. It was not pleasant for either of them. Yoongi was staring defiantly at his coffee cup, like it'd fix this problem, and Hoseok was looking at the TV, though most likely not paying attention.

Finally, though, Yoongi broke the silence. "Why is your skin so soft?" Okay, well, that was stupid question, but no going back now.

"Um. Excuse me?" Hobi was very surprised, and for good reason.

"Why... why is your skin so soft?" Yoongi was getting more flustered by the second. It was just a question! Why does his body and mind have to betray him like this?

Hoseok stared at him for a moment before laughing. "Because I wash it? Two times everyday? It's... it's not that hard to figure out, 'Gi."

"Oh." Yoongi didn't know what to expect as an answer, honestly. "But, I mean... no, never mind."

Hoseok laughed again. "Suit yourself, Yoongi."

There was more comfortable silence now. The white noise of the shop and from the TV was somewhat comforting. Of course, silence between these two didn't last long. Someone always had something on their mind.

"So, Yoongi..." Hoseok started, looking at Yoongi was had been staring off into space. "I was wondering, well, you had said something last time but I didn't quite catch it. It was for, well, why you were all jittery?" Hoseok wanted to say more, but didn't.

Yoongi blinked a few times. "Uhm. I... don't know. I forgot. Sorry. But, as for why I was jittery I think I can take a guess... hmm." Yoongi sipped his coffee slowly. For effect, of course. "Y'know that email you helped write, kind of?"

Hoseok nodded, looking very invested in where this was going.

"Yeah, so, I sent that email, and I haven't gotten a reply back on it, so, I'm kind of just. Waiting." Yoongi frowned as he thought of a lot of possible things that could go wrong with that email. What if he didn't send it? What if it got lost somewhere? What if it was the wrong email address? Did BigHit say no? There were so many more questions and not enough answers for Yoongi.

Hoseok nodded. "Ah, I see. Well, just wait a few days. Like, maybe three? Then if they don't give you any word, send them another email asking if they got it. Kindly, of course. But I hope it doesn't come to that, Yoongi." He smiled.

Yoongi stared at Hobi again. Sometimes he forgot that Hoseok can actually not be overly hyper at times. It just made him all the more... interesting? Like-able? Is there another word he could use without sounding creepy? 

"You really got to stop staring, Yoongi." Hoseok was looking a tad flustered, but he did a good job at hiding it.

"I- Right. Sorry." Yoongi sipped his coffee again and he was pretty sure his ears were getting pink. 

"I'm kidding! I don't mind it, actually, it's just... you stared at me a lot today. Is there something else on your mind...? Or..." Hoseok trailed off, not wanting to finish his own sentence.

Yoongi made a confused face. "I'm not sure if there's something on my mind, honestly. There's usually something on my mind. Is there something on your mind?"

Hoseok blinked a few times, looking ever so surprised at that question. "I'm not sure either, Yoongi. Well, actually, I was wondering how long it would take me to get to work if I stalled as much as possible, but..." He glanced at the clock, frowning. "I think I do have to go now. Sorry, Yoongi."

"Ah, no, it's fine. I wouldn't want you to get fired or whatever because you want to sit here on the couch with me." That sounded better in his head.

Hoseok smiled anyway, though. "Yeah, yeah, okay. I'll see you later, then, Yoongi!" Hoseok waved after he stood up and went to leave.

"Yeah... you too."

Yoongi sighed. He really needed that email to come to settle his nerves so he doesn't do more stupid things. Shaking his head, he too went to leave.

Yoongi was going to turn on his notifications for a certain email, though.


A/N:

Heyo, guys, this might be a little later than usual? Maybe? Well, I just wrote this like, today, rather than my usual chapters which are written a few weeks in advance. Oops?

But I was sick all week with the flu so I never found a good time to write ;; I'm sorry if this chapter is lacking like last chapter, but I don't think it's that bad.

Next chapter will be... interesting to say the least. I'm sure you guys will like it :))

I'm also a week behind school, though, so no promises for a really good chapter next week. I'll try my best, though!!

Thanks for keeping up with me <3
