Letters To Hoseok

Chapter Eleven; Hoseok

(A/N: What if someone like Eri actually got a ticket to something like this, I'd scream.
Also, I'm not a complete jerk with my cliff hangers -- enjoy the update.)

Hoseok wasn't exactly sure how long he had been sitting at the table at that point. So many faces had gone by and he had yet to see Lily's. He thought about the possibility of her not even coming, or maybe she did come but was too was nervous and didn't say who she was.

He scanned the crowd in front of him, he didn't get much details about each of the fans that have already gone. Some fans spoke a bit of Korean, but he could tell it wasn't as good as Lily's Korean. The last few fans would be coming to up to him soon, there was still hope.

A girl with long dark hair sat in front of him and started speaking in English, "Hi, how are you?"

"I am good, uh, little tired," Hoseok said, he took the girl's album and started signing it. "Long day. Are you having fun?"

"Yeah I am, I've been nervous all day though. It's really exciting to meet you guys," she replied.

"I am glad you are having fun, uh did you come alone?"

"Yeah I did, tickets for this were insanely hard to get, I feel like I won the lottery. I met someone here though, she's coming up next."

"Oh, what is her name?"

"Lily. Oh, and I'm Amara," the girl said.

Lily? Could it be her? "Oh, nice to meet you Amara," Hoseok tried to focus on the fan in front of him, though it was a little difficult.

"Nice to meet you too, make sure to eat healthy and get plenty of rest" Amara said.

"I will, don't worry, you eat too." Hoseok said, he slid the album over to the next person, Jimin.

Amara waved goodbye to Hoseok and sat in the next chair. He watched her for a moment talking excitedly with Jimin, he must be her bias. She looked more nervous with Jimin than she did with Hoseok. Hoseok smiled, and looked down the line to the next person, Lily.

She looked over at Hoseok, and they held brief eye contact before Lily turned red and pulled her eyes away. He felt his heart pounding in his chest, he looked down at his hands in his lap and saw them shaking slightly. He wasn't suppose to be the nervous one, at least he didn't think so.

Hoseok felt his phone vibrate in his pocket, he pulled it out and saw a message from Jungkook. Lily-noona is coming to you next, she's excited to see you :) the message read. That only made Hoseok more nervous. He took a deep breath and smiled into the crowd, these were the longest seconds he ever encountered.

Yoongi slid Lily's album over to Hoseok, but Lily didn't come with it, Hoseok watched for a moment as Yoongi put his hands on top of Lily's, Hoseok looked away and fiddled around with his pen. He put it to his lips and showed all the fans his 'mustache'. He saw Lily stand up from the chair, to which, he let the pen fall from his lips.

What was he going to say to her when she sat down, what should he do? She moved into the seat in front of him, don't mess this up now, he told himself. Two words seemed to tumbled out of his mouth as Lily sat down. "Hello Lily~" Hoseok found himself saying in English. The both stared at each other for a moment, Lily seemed to be surprised.

"How did you--" Lily said in Korean.

"Oh, uh, just a hunch?" Hoseok replied, he was happy he could speak in his native language with Lily. Even if he was nervous meeting her, he felt more confident since he could stick with what he knew. "How have you been? I've found it a bit harder to read your letters lately, we've been so busy."
