In His Dreams - JiHope

Going Home

The next day

Hobi found himself watching Jimin whenever he thought he could get away with it, staring at him when his back is turned, with sad eyes. He tried to distinguish the moments when Jimin was being sincere, from the moments that were part of his persona, but he couldn't tell when the boy was being true to himself.

When he wasn't watching his friend, his mind was either tortured by memories of the nightmares or tormented by questions about their friendship and about himself.

By the end of the day he was mentally exhausted, and just as confused as when he began. When the practice finished he gratefully retreated to his office, but before he could sit down, he heard footsteps.

His heart picked up, hoping it was Jimin, but was disappointed to hear Taehyung's voice.

"Hoseok-Hyung?" Taehyung called through the office door.

The older boy cracked the door open, with a tiny smile "Hey Tae" he pulled the door open to allow the younger boy to come into the room, and followed him in, sitting on the edge of the desk and looking at the younger boy "What do you need?"

Tae was a little surprised by the older boy's attitude. He had been miserable and distracted for weeks, so an almost cheerful Hobi was unexpected. But Tae being Tae just rolled with it and smiled his box smile at his Hyung. "Namjoon sent me because he thought you wouldn't be able to be mean to someone as cute as me"

Hobi's eyes widened and he had to laugh at the younger boy "I don't think you were meant to tell me that Tae-Tae"

Tae grinned back – uncaring. "It doesn't matter, Namjoon can't be mad at me either"

"Of course he can't," Hobi shook his head "So why did Joonie send you?"

"Oh yeah" Tae laughed "Jimin has said that if you want to, you can move back into your room in the dorm, and Namjoon has asked me to ask you if you want to?" Hobi blinked at the boy , his jaw dropping open.

Tae laughed again "You look like a fish with your mouth open like that Hobi-hyung" Tae crossed his eyes and opened and closed his mouth, imitating a better fish, before jumping up and down on his feet "So do you want to come back home?"

"OK" Hoseok agreed, jumping off the desk, "I'll just pack and I'll be home soon" he started gathering his gear together as the younger boy left "Thanks Tae" the red head called through the door as it swung shut.

As soon as the door closed, he dropped on the edge of the cot, all the tension dropping from his shoulders, what does it mean?
