“Hey Yoongi, is Jungkook here?” Hoseok asks with a smile when Yoongi opens the door. “No, he uh.. I think he said he went to the library” Yoongi can't really remember. He was half asleep when Jungkook told him.

Hoseok nods in understandment “Ah, I see. Well, I guess I'll go then-” He was slightly disappointed, he wanted to hang out with Yoongi. “W-Wait” Hoseok turns back to look at Yoongi, smiling softly, feeling hopeful. “I'm sure he won't be too long, you can come in if you want?” It sounded more like a question and Yoongi felt like throwing up while his face felt like it was quite literally on fire.

Hoseok smiles, seeing the smallest blush on Yoongi’s face. “Sure” He walks past Yoongi and into the living room. Yoongi tries to shake off the feeling on his face and goes to sit down, far from Hoseok. “S-So what's up?”

Yoongi wasn't exactly sure what you talked about when conversing with people. Most usually, Jungkook did all of the talking for him. “Not a lot, trying to pass my English exam is a pain in the ass” Hoseok jokes, making Yoongi smile. “English is hard”

Hoseok smiles, he can see that Yoongi really is trying hard. “So Yoongi-” Hoseok’s words were cut off by the front door opening. “Yoongi Hun? You home? Jungkook said he'll be home in a few. Are you hungry- Oh”

Mrs. Jeon came in the house, calling out for Yoongi, only to be stopped when she walks into the living room to see Yoongi sitting on the couch, with a friend. “Oh hello Hoseok, I didn't know we had company, my apologies” She glances at Yoongi and she can tell he's anxious. “Hello Mrs. Jeon, I came by looking for Jungkook. Yoongi and I were just talking”

Mrs. Jeon smiles “How nice, I'm glad that Yoongi didn't have to be left alone too long” She turns her back to Hoseok and winks at Yoongi while silently saying “he's cute!” and giving a thumbs up. Yoongi’s eyes go wide and he blushes tweleve kinds of red.

Mrs. Jeon chuckles “Why don't I make you guys a snack, yeah?” They agree and follow her to the kitchen. Hoseok excuses himself to the bathroom and Yoongi sighs in relief. “Honey, why didn't you send out the warning text?”

Yoongi smiles, the Jeons set up a code word, safe word, of sorts for Yoongi. If he was having an anxiety attack, Blueberry. If he was in a situation that he didn't feel safe in, he sends the text: We're out of milk. It sounds very weird, but they said it was a non-suspicious code that could be used in daily conversation without bringing up suspicion.

“I promise I'm okay mom, he was going to leave but I invited him in. He's one of the boys that Kookie and I hang out with at school” Yoongi doesn't realize anything different but Mrs. Jeon almost drops her knife as she chops vegetables. He called her mom. She turns her back to Yoongi, washing carrots in the sink.

In truth, it was an excuse to hide her face so she could wipe the tears that were threatening to fall. Luckily though, Mrs. Jeon was saved by the bell. Her phone rang, Mr. Jeon. She smiles and turns to Yoongi, “It's dad, do you mind taking over for me?” Yoongi smiles and nods, getting up and taking her place.

Mrs. Jeon smiles before running off to her room. “You will never believe what just happened honey!” She whisper yells as soon as she's out of Yoongi’s earshot. “He called me mom! He didn't even blink an eye. I don't think he realized it but he called me mom! I almost cried in front of him” Mrs. Jeon gushes on and on to her husband, not knowing that Hoseok was listening. He smiles and goes back to the kitchen with Yoongi.
