Roommates (Sope/Yoonseok)

Chapter 15: Questions Are Annoying

(A/N: Wattpad didn't let me add the full title :/ )

*???'s POV*
???

I wonder how everyone's doing? I haven't seen them since that day.
"Are they happy?"
"No, they can't be. If I'm unhappy, they're unhappy."
"But they're not like you."
"They weren't as close with him."
"Weren't?"
"He never left, he's right here."
"Heh...what will I do without you?"
"Nothing."
"Because you never left."

*Yoongi's POV*

When I woke up, I found myself alone in Hoseok's bed. I looked around for Hoseok, no luck.
I hugged Mr. Teddy closer to my chest, a feeling of dread creeping up on me. I'm sure he's still here...
As I sat there, thoughts of Hoseok leaving ran through my head, making me panic.

By the time I heard any sign of life outside the door, I was shaking uncontrollably and tears were falling from my eyes. I sat helplessly in bed, too afraid to move, terrified that I really was alone.
"Y-Yoongi!"

I snapped my head up, to see the person I had been crying about.
"Hobiii!" I squealed excitedly, all my worries leaving me. I ran up to him, throwing myself into his arms.
"Why are you crying, Prince?"
"I-I thought you left...but you didn't!"
"Why would I leave?"
"B-Because..."
I looked down, wishing he would stop asking so many questions. Questions are annoying, once you answer one, you have to answer them all.
Luckily, he didn't say anything after that.

I wiped away my tears, looking back up at him. I smiled slightly, just to assure him I was ok.
"Where did you go?"
"I had a shower, and when I got out I heard sniffles, so I came to check on you. I figured you wouldn't be up this early, sorry..."
And then it hit me. Hoseok was shirtless, with nothing but a towel around his waist. His hair was dripping wet, drops of water rolling onto his neck. I'm surprised I didn't notice sooner, I guess I was busy crying.

"You're staring." He laughed, causing me to blush and look away.
"Awahhhh, is someone blushing~?"
"N-No!"
"Yes, someone is!"
"Nooo!"
"Yeessss~!"
"H-Hoseook! Stooop!"
"Aww, I'm just playing with you~"
I pouted, as drops of water fell onto my face, due to Hoseok looking down at me.

"Ah! I should probably go dry my hair. Is that ok?"
"Mhm."

He instinctivly picked me up, even though I didn't ask.
"Wow, you really like carrying me around, don't you?"
"Huh?"
"I didn't even ask, and you just picked me up and started walking arou- where the hell are we going?"
"To the bath- oh wait, this is the kitchen. But you like when I pick you up, don't you?"
"Yeah, but sometimes I think you forget I can walk."
"Do you not want me to pick you up anymore...?" He pouted.
"It's not that! I-It's just..."
"It's ok if you say no..."
"I do like it! I-I made you sad, I'm sorry..."

We had finally reached the bathroom, and Hoseok set me down. He grabbed a towel to dry his hair, as I stood there listening to him talk.
"I-I'm just protective of you, ok? So, it's kinda like... when I pick you up, I feel like it makes you feel safe and stuff. Ew, that's super sappy..."
"But what do you want to protect me from?"
His expression became dark, as he put the towel back.
"It's just...you've told me so much about Jimin, and even if you say you're not, it's obvious you're still scared of him...I guess I just want to be better to you than he was, maybe I'm jealous in a way."
"You're already better than him, I've never seen him shirtless. Also, I didn't know you could feel jealousy, or any negative emotion in general."
"The sunshine does have his worries and problems."
"What kind of problems?"
"Mostly my job, but sometimes you." (A/N: Hoseok got a job as a background dancer at BigHit, but I never mentioned it in the story.)
"Me?"
"Well, these days you've been unhappy, and I'm not really sure what to do...I get that it's what you've gone through, but sometimes I blame myself for not being able to do anything, even though it wasn't my fault, nor did I know you back then."
"But why?"
"I just wanna protect you..."
He hugged me, his breathing a little uneven.
