Good Guys Finish Lasting

Your POV

"Yes. Jung Hoseok." He grinned and I turned around to walk away.

"Nice name."

"Um, thank you..." He seemed disappointed, probably because I refused to recognize him well Hoseok I see that you're back but you came back too late. I don't want you near me anymore. I'm surprised he even recognized me, I've changed so much.
I glance at him and paused for a moment. He looked like a puppy with drooped ears who just got a scolding.
Cute...
I shake my head and continue walking. He was always a sunshine. I smile to myself. All the more reason to keep him away from a person like myself.

I walked back home, mother must be gone by now. I stepped on the porch and turned the door knob.
The door didn't open.
What?
I kept turning the knob!
"Fuck! She locked me outside!!" I kicked the door, "Great, I can't make noodles on ice now!"
I sighed and turned around as my jaws dropped, Hoseok stood there looking at me, waiting by the gate.
Shit... He saw this!

"What the fuck do you want!!!" I yell at him.

"Ah um, yo-you can come over to my place if you wanna eat, like those-" He pointed at the instant noodles in hand, "Just for eating." He nodded his head.

I stare at him for a while, " Why the fuck would I go with a person I only met a few minutes ago?! Huh!?"

He looked down ," I'm sorry."

"What the fuck are you apologizing for!!!" This kid was always too nice!

"Ah! For asking you something unreasonable?"

I stare at him dumb founded and then walked towards the gate, " Are you stupid? Inviting strangers over to your place like that? How did you even grow up to be this big? The world didn't crush you?" I say to his face as I snort and then turn to walk away. I'll go over to Leo's place, if he's there that is.

As I kept walking I heard his voice, "I don't invite random people in!!"
I paused as he continued, "And I know you're a good person-"

"NO YOU DON'T!" I yell back as I turn my head to look at him , "You don't, you know nothing about me."

"I'd like to believe you are." He said, "The offer will always stand, for you, you can come by anytime, for anything!"

I didn't say anything and turned around to leave as he further spoke, a bit excitement in his voice ," This means it's not a no right!?! I live down the street, house number 115!"

I smile to myself. He really hasn't changed, still trying his best to cheer me up but oh Hoseok why did you come so late?
My chest started to hurt as I thought about it.
I don't want you to lose your happiness for me.
I guess ignoring him will eventually make him go away.
I glance back and get startled as I see him standing at the same position smiling his goofy sweet smile at me.

...

I turn my head straight and walk away.
