My Muse || Sope

"Yoongi baby! I have a surprise." Hoseok came rushing into our apartment as I tossed one of my now-empty boxes into the small pile with the other.

I sighed, still feeling upset over my termination from over a week ago. "I'm sorry, Hoseokie, I'm not really in the mood for surprises."

"Oh really?" He put his arms on his hips and gave me a stubborn look. "I think you'll want to hear this one. It will cheer you up."

I opened up the last box of my belongings with a pair of scissors, accidentally knicking my finger, but not wanting to startle Hoseok. I stepped back and hid my hand in the pockets of my hoodie. "Okay, fine. What is it?"

Hoseok smiled so wide his cheeks must've hurt. He took a few steps forward, cupping my cheeks with his hands. "I spoke to my father."

"That's the surprise?" I couldn't contain the slight rolling of my eyes.

Hoseok's smile faltered as his hands tightened ever so slightly on my cheeks. "No! Listen. I spoke to my father. I told him about our... situation and he is going to help. He offered to pay for our wedding, Yoongi!"

I was silent while the realization kicked in. I leaned closer to Hoseok, making sure I heard him correctly. "What did you say?"

Hoseok gave me a long, deep kiss before pulling back, the smile still present on his cheerful face. "We can have the wedding of our dreams, babe."

"The wedding of your dreams. My only dream is you."

Hoseok burst out laughing at my comment, making me cross my arms over his chest. I watched him stumble around the room, hunched over, as he laughed and clapped his hands together like a seal. "God, Yoongs, when did you become so cheesy?"

"The second I fell in love with you." I winked as charmingly (?) as I could muster.

"Hmm, someone is a sweet talker today, huh?" He stepped towards me again and gripped my hips, our lower halves touching.

I couldn't help but release a quiet moan when his hands gripped my butt. He smirked as he leaned close to my ear.

"As much as I would love to make love to you right now, I have another surprise for you." He pecked my temple before exiting our shared bedroom, leaving me slightly hard and uncomfortable.

"Hoseok, where are you taking me this time?"

"Shut up and walk." He dragged me by the hand, his long legs taking large strides, making it difficult to keep up. He lead me a few blocks away from our apartment, winding us between the crowds of people. I recognized the street, of course. It was the same street as Big Hit Entertainment.

I watched as Hoseok quickened his already-fast pace and dragged me inside my old workplace. I frowned as I remembered the events that happened here just a week ago.

"Hoseok, please, stop for a second." My voice was stern, making Hoseok pause in his place as he turned to face me. He wore a shy, nervous smile, something I had never seen on Hoseok before.

"Why the hell did you bring me here?"

Hoseok exhaled sharply before walking the few remaining steps to the elevator, pressing the arrow button. "Just please give it a chance! I promise you'll love it."

I chewed on my lip for a minute until the familiar ding! Of the elevator, followed by Hoseok stepping on, made me become alert once more. I shook my head, shoulders starting to shake.

"I'm sorry, I-I don't want to be here. I can't be here." I backed away, my hands rubbing up and down my arms.

Hoseok put his hands on his hips, his left hip jutting out. "Don't make me do it."

"Do what?"

Before I could process what was going on, Hoseok took a few strides and lifted me up in his arms, bridal style. I couldn't help but laugh a little at the absurdity of the whole thing. I nuzzled my head into his neck, embracing his touch.

He carried me to the elevator, making sure the doors were shut and the elevator was starting to move before he set me down. As much as I wanted to be stubborn, I couldn't help but smile as I realized just how perfect Hoseok is for me.

I reached a hand out to grip his again, enjoying the feeling of our fingers interlocking. Hoseok chuckled as he pulled my body in front of his, his arms wrapping around my waist as he rested his chin on my shoulder. He kissed my earlobe before squeezing me. We looked up to watch as the numbers were arriving to the floor of our studios. When the elevator stopped, Hoseok leaned close to my ear.

"Surprise, baby."
