areum's pov

i was laying down in my bed with blankets wrapped around me, enjoying a harry styles one shot fic when i heard someone knocking on my door. i knew exactly who it was. i decided to ignore it. he waited a while until he just came into my room. i looked up from the fan fiction i was reading to see hoseok.

"what." i said, exaggerating the t.

"yah! you're not even gonna say hi?" he asked.

"sorry." i laughed and rubbed my eyes.

"do you wanna.. hang out with me and my friends?" he asked, trying to be nice.

either his mom got him to ask this, or he just thinks i really need friends.

i know, that seems strange. usually siblings hate when you tag along with them and their friends. but hoseok is different. he is so caring towards me. i'm so glad i get to live with him here in korea instead of back home. plus, hoseok is different since he is my cousin.

"eh i'm good, they probably wouldn't like me." i said, looking back down at my fan fiction as hoseok pulled on my leg, dragging me out of my bed.

"aish okay okay fine i'll go just let me get dressed first." i said and he ran out of my room with excitement. i heard a quiet "okayyy!" from rooms away.

i quickly got dressed into casual clothes. i'm not the type to go all out when i go places. i put on my black bigbang t-shirt, with black ripped jeans. ...my style is the opposite of my personality. i put on my usual high top vans and quickly put my hair into a loose ponytail, my baby hairs falling out of it. i put my glasses on, hoping they will distract people from my ugly face. well, and because i kinda need them.

"let's gooooo areummm!" hoseok said, but its muffled. i saw his feet on the other side of my door through the crack. i opened my door to see hoseok with a bright smile on his face with his head tilted. i shake my head and we both made our way to his car.

"so where are we even going?" i asked him.

"my friend namjoon's house." he said.

"oh." i said and started to stare out the car window.

it was silent.

"can i play music?" i asked hoseok.

he gave me a look of disgust.

he finds it annoying how i listen to so many boy groups.

"pleaaasseeeeee." i begged.

he continued to give me that look.

i was starting to regret saying those nice things about him.

"EXCUSEEEE ME1!!1 I CAN JUST LEAVE RIGHT NOW JUNG HOSEOK!! YOU SHOULD BE LUCKY I'M HANGING OUT WITH YOU!!" i yelled.

"okay okay." he laughed and gave me his aux chord.

i smiled and started playing stop stop it by got7.

"hAjimA hAji hAji hAji hAjiMAA." i sang. "oh hoseok, isn't this song just so sexy."

he rolled his eyes, trying not to laugh.

we arrived at namjoon's house and there are 6 of hoseok's friends there. i'm surprised hoseok even hangs out with that many people at once. he must have a lot of friends.

i stood behind hoseok and he grabbed onto my shoulders and pushed me in front of him.

"this is my cousin areum. she lives with my family because her parents had to move somewhere for work. she used to live in america and-" he started going on and on until i covered his mouth.

"gosh they don't need my whole life story." i started off saying loudly, but then i went quiet when i realized all of his friends are staring at me.

"i'm namjoon." one of his friends said, his dimples showing even though his face is relaxed. "this is jimin, taehyung, yoongi, jin, and jungkook." he said and pointed to each of them as he said their names.

"hi." i said shyly... why do i have to be so awkward.

"jungkook is in your grade." hoseok added.

my face turned even more red. all of them were staring at me. just stop ah this is why i don't leave the house.

"i see her reading on her phone all the time in class." jungkook told them.

"what!!! ...nooooo!!!" i gave him a worried look.

"yeah! she is always reading fan fictions! areum thinks she knows everything about relationships yet she has never-" hoseok started going on again until i hit him.

"shut up!" i yelled.

we spend the evening talking together and watching a korean action movie. although i was having fun, i couldn't help but realize yoongi's expression hasn't changed the whole night. he's the only one's name i know other than namjoon's, because yoongi has mint colored hair.

we were in the kitchen putting away our snacks. i quickly went back to my spot on the couch. all the boys started rushing back into the living room and yoongi jumped onto the couch, not letting the others get the spot they wanted as well.

the one with the low voice frowned, and yoongi smiled.

i feel bad for not knowing the rest of their names, but is it really necessary to learn them if i'm just here because hoseok made me go just this one time?

his gummy smile started fading away as the movie started to become more interesting. at least for him. this movie is so boring. maybe its because i haven't been watching it.

i couldn't help but become anxious again, thinking about how close he is to me. his expressionless face makes me want to keep watching him, to see how he will react to certain parts of the movie.

i curled up into a ball on the couch, making my heart rate slow down because of the comfort of my chin resting on my knee. my face started burning as i began to realize that when i moved into that position, my shoulder began touching his.

i felt my whole body begin to burn up and i imagined how red my face was.

why do i have to be like this.
